#181133 - No need for a clock...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
...but it is way simplier to do it with a clock.

Ok, you should be able to do something at the right moment, when doing controlling. So, you should have a clock somewhere to synchronize your clockfree microcontroller, just to know whether it's time do something or not.

Also, you must be able to control a stream of events in your microcontroller, because certain routines must follow a certain chronology. Your microcontroller must know the past, the presence and the future, somehow.

By the way, in the first days of microcontrollers, auxiliary potentials for biasing the substrate and other things where generated on chip by using charge pumps. Charge pumps NEED a clock...
