The CKDIV8 Fuse determines the initial value of the CLKPS bits. If CKDIV8 is unprogrammed,

the CLKPS bits will be reset to “0000”. If CKDIV8 is programmed, CLKPS bits are reset to

“0011”, giving a division factor of eight at start up. This feature should be used if the selected

clock source has a higher frequency than the maximum frequency of the device at the present

operating conditions. Note that any value can be written to the CLKPS bits regardless of the

CKDIV8 Fuse setting. The Application software must ensure that a sufficient division factor is

chosen if the selcted clock source has a higher frequency than the maximum frequency of the

device at the present operating conditions. The device is shipped with the CKDIV8 Fuse

programmed.

Switching Time

When switching between prescaler settings, the System Clock Prescaler ensures that no

glitches occur in the clock system and that no intermediate frequency is higher than neither the

clock frequency corresponding to the previous setting, nor the clock frequency corresponding to

the new setting.

The ripple counter that implements the prescaler runs at the frequency of the undivided clock,

which may be faster than the CPU’s clock frequency. Hence, it is not possible to determine the

state of the prescaler – even if it were readable, and the exact time it takes to switch from one

clock division to another cannot be exactly predicted.

From the time the CLKPS values are written, it takes between T1 + T2 and T1 + 2*T2 before the

new clock frequency is active. In this interval, 2 active clock edges are produced. Here, T1 is the

previous clock period, and T2 is the period corresponding to the new prescaler setting.
