Master clock generator

nRF54L15 | nRF54L10 | nRF54L05 Datasheet

The master clock generator's PRESCALER register allows adjusting the PDM clock's frequency.

The master clock generator does not add any jitter to the HFCLK source chosen. It is recommended (but not mandatory) to use the Xtal as HFCLK source.

The PDM frequency can be adjusted by using PRESCALER, even while the clock generator is running. The PDM clock frequency CLK = PCLK32M/(2*PRESCALER)
