#175105 - Benefit of a higher SYSCLK ?
Refer the code from Silabs examples : F12x_ADC0_ExternalInput_Mux.c

The ADC0 conversions are designed to be started once every 20uS by the use of Timer 2 overflow. And the acquired mV data sent to Serial port at 115200 baud rate.

I was reading the code and found that they had used the PLL to multiply the base frequency of 24.5 MHz ( internal clock )by a factor of 2 to get a SYSCLK of 49 MHz.

I noticed that the 20us conversions as well as 115200 baud could be achieved without jacking up the base clock to 49MHz. So why was it done ? Do we stand to gain any advantage of running at 49 MHz compared to 24.5MHz ? Or am I missing out something in this process ??

      Quite common to halt/sleep core during ADC capture            01/01/70 00:00      
      Seems to be a demo of various items...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Another Strong Reason...            01/01/70 00:00      
   if you set it high enough ...            01/01/70 00:00
