frequency can vary significantly due to reliance on the small parasitic capacitance associated with the
PCB traces and device package.

External Crystal/Resonator (XT, LP, or HS Mode)
Using an external crystal or ceramic resonator to generate the clock is suitable for a system that
requires precise and accurate timing (for example, for a real-time clock). These types of oscillators cost
more than RC oscillators.
The SX device can be configured to operate in any one of the following external crystal/resonator
modes.
SX18/20/28AC and SX18/20/28AC75:
LP1 low-power crystal (32 KHz)
LP2 low-power crystal /resonator(32 KHz to 1 MHz)
XT1 normal crystal/resonator (32 KHz to 10 MHz)
XT2 normal crystal/resonator (1 MHz to 24 MHz)
HS1 high-speed crystal/resonator (1 MHZ to 32 MHz)
HS2 high-speed crystal/resonator (1 MHZ to 50 MHz)
HS3 high-speed crystal/resonator (1 MHZ to 50 MHz)
