EM78P350N
8-Bit Microprocessor with OTP ROM
In order to maintain a stable system frequency, the values of the Cext should be no less
than 20pF, and the value of Rext should be no greater than 1MΩ. If the frequency
cannot be kept within this range, the frequency can be affected easily by noise,
humidity, and leakage.
The smaller the Rext in the RC oscillator is, the faster its frequency will be. On the
contrary, for very low Rext values, for instance, 1 KΩ, the oscillator will become
unstable because the NMOS cannot correctly discharge the capacitance current.
Based on the above reasons, it must be kept in mind that all supply voltage, the
operation temperature, the components of the RC oscillator, the package types, and
the way the PCB is layout, have certain effects on the system frequency.

6.13.4 Internal RC Oscillator Mode
The EM78P350N offers a versatile internal RC mode with default frequency value of
4MHz. Internal RC oscillator mode has other frequencies (1 MHz, 8 MHz, and 455
kHz) that can be set by Code Option (Word 1), RCM1, and RCM0. The Table below
describes the EM78P350N internal RC drift with voltage, temperature, and process
variations.
