The USB module requires a fixed 60-MHz clock for bit sampling. Since the main system clock is usually not a multiple of 60 MHz, the correct frequency cannot be achieved with a simple divider. Instead, the USB clock is provided through an auxiliary clock path (AUXPLLCLK), which can use an independent clock source and PLL to generate the correct frequency.
USB clock tolerances are very tight. As stated in section 7.1.11 of the USB 2.0 specification, low-speed devices (1.50 Mb/s) have a tolerance of ±1.5%, while high-speed devices (12.000 Mb/s) have a tolerance of ±0.25%. Typically these tolerances are achieved by using an external crystal or resonator as the source for AUXOSCCLK.
