ST92F124/F150/F250 - RESET AND CLOCK CONTROL UNIT (RCCU)
7.5 CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
The on-chip components for the crystal oscillator
are an inverting circuit, polarised at the trip point.
The inverter is built around an n-channel transis-
tor, loaded with a current source and polarised
through a feedback resistor.
The current source is tailored to obtain a pseudo
sinusoidal signal at OSCOUT and OSCIN, reduc-
ing the electromagnetic emission. The inverter
stage is followed by a matching inverter, which is
followed in turn by a schmitt-triggered buffer.
In HALT mode, set by means of the HALT instruc-
tion, in STOP mode, and under control of the XT-
STOP bit, the oscillator is disabled. The current
sources are switched off, reducing the power dis-
sipation. The internal clock, CLOCK1, is forced to
a high level.
To exit the HALT condition and restart the oscilla-
tor, an external RESET pulse is required, having a
a minimum duration of TSTUP (see Figure 70 and
Section 11 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS).
It should be noted that, if the Watchdog function is
enabled, a HALT instruction will not disable the os-
cillator. This to avoid stopping the Watchdog if a
HALT code is executed in error. When this occurs,
the CPU will be reset when the Watchdog times
out or when an external reset is applied.
