or external components (selectable by option
byte).

Notes:
1. Data based on characterization results.
2. Guaranteed frequency range with the specified CEX and REX ranges taking into account the device process variation.
Data based on design simulation.
3. Data based on characterization results done with VDD nominal at 5V, not tested in production.
4. REX must have a positive temperature coefficient (ppm/°C), carbon resistors should therefore not be used.
5. Important: when no external CEX is applied, the capacitance to be considered is the global parasitic capacitance which
is subject to high variation (package, application...). In this case, the RC oscillator frequency tuning has to be done by
trying out several resistor values.
