LPC2458 USB/Ethernet w/IRC clock? - "David L. Miller" - Jun 17 13:34:53 2008

I have an application where I cannot use a crystal oscillator, but
still need a high speed serial interface. Does anyone know if the USB
or Ethernet can be used reliably with only the IRC? I don't see
anything definitive in the datasheet...

Thanks!

Hi Dave,

the specification is the accuracy of the IRC which is typically 1% but
worst case IIRC better than 2%. While the Ethernet is a synchronous
interface that gets an external clock and can absolutely be used with
the IRC, USB has a spec afaik from required clock accuracy of less
than 0.1% deviation.

So, IMHO Ethernet no problem, USB not really. It might still work but
your system is out of specification

OK, USB is out. I could do Ethernet, but that requires an external
PHY. How about the SSP? According to the datasheet the maximum bit
rate for SSP master is 1/2 of the input clock rate. When using the
IRC, would that mean 4MHz/2 = 2Mbps, or does it mean CCLK?

Thanks!
