Clock Tree

This section lists definitions of the ESP32-C2’s supported root clocks and module clocks. These definitions are commonly used in the driver configuration, to help user select a proper source clock for the peripheral.

Root Clocks

Root clocks generate reliable clock signals. These clock signals then pass through various gates, muxes, dividers, or multipliers to become the clock sources for every functional module: the CPU core(s), WIFI, BT, the RTC, and the peripherals.

ESP32-C2’s root clocks are listed in soc_root_clk_t:

• Internal 17.5MHz RC Oscillator (RC_FAST)

  This RC oscillator generates a ~17.5MHz clock signal output as the RC_FAST_CLK.

  The ~17.5MHz signal output is also passed into a configurable divider, which by default divides the input clock frequency by 256, to generate a RC_FAST_D256_CLK.

  The exact frequency of RC_FAST_CLK can be computed in runtime through calibration on the RC_FAST_D256_CLK.

• External 40MHz Crystal (XTAL)

• Internal 136kHz RC Oscillator (RC_SLOW)

  This RC oscillator generates a ~136kHz clock signal output as the RC_SLOW_CLK. The exact frequency of this clock can be computed in runtime through calibration.

• External Slow Clock - optional (OSC_SLOW)

  A clock signal generated by an external circuit can be connected to pin0 to be the clock source for the RTC_SLOW_CLK. This clock can also be calibrated to get its exact frequency.

Typically, the frequency of the signal generated from a RC oscillator circuit is less accurate and more sensitive to environment comparing to the signal generated from a crystal. ESP32-C2 provides several clock source options for the RTC_SLOW_CLK, and users can make the choice based on the requirements for system time accuracy and power consumption (refer to RTC 定时器时钟源 for more details).

Module Clocks

ESP32-C2’s available module clocks are listed in soc_module_clk_t. Each module clock has a unique ID. You can get more information on each clock by checking the documented enum value.
