Interface Clock和Functional Clock区别?详见技术手册P1773
手册中定义:
The PRCM produces two types of clock: interface and functional clocks.
Interface clocks: these clocks primarily provide clocking for the system interconnect modules and the portions of device's functional modules which interface to the system interconnect modules. In most cases, the interface clock supplies the functional module's system interconnect interface and registers. For some modules, interface clock is also used as functional clock. In this specification, interface clocks arerepresented by blue lines.主要用于系统内部互联模块(例如L3 )和部分设备功能同系统内部互联模块通信时钟。
Functional clock: this clock supplies the functional part of a module or a sub-system. In some cases, a module or a subsystem may require several functional clocks: 1 or several main functional clock(s), 1 or several optional clock(s). A module needs its main clock(s) to be operational. Optional clocks are used for specific features and can be shutdown without stopping the module.
主要用于实现部分模块和系统功能的时钟。(例如:SPI、UART、I2C对外设备通信的时钟就是Functional clock提供的)。
