Notes: 1. Theseoptionsshould only beusedwhen not operating closetothemaximum fre-
quency of the device, and only iffrequency stability at start-up is not important for the
application. Theseoptions are not suitable forcrystals.
2. Theseoptions are intendedfor use withceramicresonators andwill ensure fre-
quency stability at start-up.Theycan also beusedwithcrystals when not operating
closetothemaximum frequency of the device, and iffrequency stability at start-up is
not important for theapplication.
Low-frequency Crystal
Oscillator
To usea32.768 kHz watch crystal as the clock source for the device, the Low-fre-
quency CrystalOscillator must be selectedbysetting the CKSEL Fuses to “1001”. The
crystalshould be connected asshowninFigure18.By programming the CKOPT Fuse,
theusercan enableinternalcapacitors on XTAL1andXTAL2, thereby removing the
needfor externalcapacitors.Theinternalcapacitors have a nominal value of36pF.
When thisOscillator isselected, start-up times are determinedbythe SUT Fuses as
showninTable 9.
