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
resonator network or an external clock signal as the
device clock.
To use an external resonator network, you connect a
crystal or ceramic resonator to the OSC1/CLKIN and
OSC2/CLKOUT pins according to the circuit configura-
tion shown in Figure 9-1. Table 9-1 shows the recom-
mended capacitor values to be used with ceramic
resonators. Table 9-2 shows the recommended compo-
nent values to be used at different crystal frequencies. A
parallel resonant crystal type is recommended. Use of a
series resonant crystal may result in a frequency that is
outside the crystal manufacturer specifications.
If the XT, LP, or HS mode is selected, the OSC1/CLKIN
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 lev-
els (Figure 9-2). In this case, the OSC2/CLKOUT pin
should be left open.
Note:Series resistor (RS) is not required for crystal fre-
quencies higher than 1 MHz; use a direct connection in-
stead.
LP: Low Power Crystal
XT: Crystal/Resonator
HS: High Speed Crystal/Resonator
RC: External Resistor/Capacitor
Internal Resistor/Capacitor
