+ *  \subsection SSec_F_CLOCK The F_CLOCK Parameter\r
+ *  This parameter indicates the target AVR's input clock frequency, in Hz. This is the actual clock input, before any prescaling is performed. In the\r
+ *  USB AVR architecture, the input clock before any prescaling is fed directly to the PLL subsystem, and thus the PLL is derived directly from the\r
+ *  clock input. The PLL then feeds the USB and other sections of the AVR with the correct upscaled frequencies required for those sections to function.\r
