9.0 OSCILLATOR CIRCUITS
The device supports several user-selectable oscillator
modes. The oscillator modes are selected by program-
ming the appropriate values into the FUSE Word register.
These are the different oscillator modes offered:
9.1 XT, LP or HS modes
In XT, LP, or HS modes, you can use either an external
crystal or resonator network, or an external clock signal
as the device clock.
To use an external crystal or resonator network, connect
a crystal or ceramic resonator to the OSC1 and OSC2
pins according to the circuit configuration shown in
Figure 9-1. A parallel resonant crystal type is recom-
mended. Use of a series resonant crystal may result in a
frequency that is outside the crystal manufacturer specifi-
cations. Table 9-1 shows the recommended external
components associated with a crystal-based oscillator.
Table 9-2 shows the recommended external component
values for a resonator-based oscillator.
Bits 5, 1, and 0 of the FUSE register (FOSC2:FOSC0)
are used to configure the different external resona-
tor/crystal oscillator modes. These bits allow the selec-
tion of the appropriate gain setting for the internal driver
to match the desired operating frequency. If the XT, LP, or
HS mode is selected, the OSC1 pin can be driven by an
external clock source rather than a resonator network, as
long as the clock signal meets the specified duty cycle,
rise and fall times, and input levels (Figure 9-2). In this
case, the OSC2 pin should be left open.
LP: Low Power Crystal
XT: Crystal/Resonator
HS: High Speed Crystal/Resonator
RC: External Resistor/Capacitor
Internal Resistor/Capacitor
