PIC12F635/PIC16F636/639

3.0 CLOCK SOURCES

3.1 Overview

The PIC12F635/PIC16F636/639 has a wide variety of

clock sources and selection features to allow it to be

used in a wide range of applications, while maximizing

performance and minimizing power consumption.

Figure 3-1 illustrates a block diagram of the

PIC12F635/PIC16F636/639 clock sources.

Clock sources can be configured from external oscillators,

quartz crystal resonators, ceramic resonators and

Resistor-Capacitor (RC) circuits. In addition, the system

clock source can be configured from one of two internal

oscillators, with a choice of speeds selectable via

software. Additional clock features include:

• Selectable system clock source between external

or internal via software.

• Two-Speed Clock Start-up mode, which

minimizes latency between external oscillator

start-up and code execution.

• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) designed to

detect a failure of the external clock source (LP,

XT, HS, EC or RC modes) and switch to the

internal oscillator.

The PIC12F635/PIC16F636/639 can be configured in

one of eight clock modes.

1. EC – External clock with I/O on RA4.

2. LP – Low gain crystal or Ceramic Resonator

Oscillator mode.

3. XT – Medium gain crystal or Ceramic Resonator

Oscillator mode.

4. HS – High gain crystal or Ceramic Resonator

mode.

5. RC – External Resistor-Capacitor (RC) with

FOSC/4 output on RA4.

6. RCIO – External Resistor-Capacitor (RC) with I/O

on RA4.

7. INTOSC – Internal oscillator with FOSC/4 output

on RA4 and I/O on RA5.

8. INTOSCIO – Internal oscillator with I/O on RA4

and RA5.

Clock source modes are configured by the FOSC<2:0>

bits in the Configuration Word register (see

Section 12.0 “Special Features of the CPU”). The

internal clock can be generated by two oscillators. The

HFINTOSC is a high-frequency calibrated oscillator. The

LFINTOSC is a low-frequency uncalibrated oscillator.
