In the RCC register, the SYSDIV field specifies which divisor is used to generate the system clock
from either the PLL output or the oscillator source (depending on how the BYPASSbit in this register
is configured). When using the PLL, the VCO frequency of 400 MHz is predivided by 2 before the
divisor is applied. Table 6-2 shows how the SYSDIV encoding affects the system clock frequency,
depending on whether the PLL is used (BYPASS=0) or another clock source is used (BYPASS=1).
The divisor is equivalent to the SYSDIV encoding plus 1. For a list of possible clock sources, see
Table 6-1 on page 68.

a. This parameter is used in functions such as SysCtlClockSet() in the Stellaris Peripheral Driver Library.
b. SYSCTL_SYSDIV_1 does not set the USESYSDIV bit. As a result, using this parameter without enabling the PLL results
in the system clock having the same frequency as the clock source.
The SYSDIV2 field in the RCC2 register is 2 bits wider than the SYSDIV field in the RCC register
so that additional larger divisors up to /64 are possible, allowing a lower system clock frequency for
improved Deep Sleep power consumption. When using the PLL, the VCO frequency of 400 MHz is
predivided by 2 before the divisor is applied. The divisor is equivalent to the SYSDIV2 encoding
plus 1. Table 6-3 shows how the SYSDIV2 encoding affects the system clock frequency, depending
on whether the PLL is used (BYPASS2=0) or another clock source is used (BYPASS2=1). For a list
of possible clock sources, see Table 6-1 on page 68.
