3 CLOCKS, RESET, INTERRUPTS & POWER SAVING MODES
3.1 CLOCK SYSTEM
3.1.1 General Description
The MCU accepts either a Crystal or Ceramic res-
onator, or an external clock signal to drive the in-
ternal oscillator. The internal clock (fCPU) is de-
rived from the external oscillator frequency (fOSC).
The external Oscillator clock is first divided by 2,
and division factor of 32 can be applied if Slow
Mode is selected by setting the SMS bit in the Mis-
cellaneous Register. This reduces the frequency
of the fCPU; the clock signal is also routed to the
on-chip peripherals.
The internal oscillator is designed to operate with
an AT-cut parallel resonant quartz crystal resona-
tor in the frequency range specified for fosc. The
circuit shown in Figure 13 is recommended when
using a crystal, and Table 6 lists the recommend-
ed capacitance and feedback resistance values.
The crystal and associated components should be
mounted as close as possible to the input pins in
order to minimize output distortion and start-up
stabilisation time.
Use of an external CMOS oscillator is recom-
mended when crystals outside the specified fre-
quency ranges are to be used.
