Note 1: Recommended values of C1 and C2 are
identical to the ranges tested (Table 2-1).
2: Higher capacitance increases the stability
of the oscillator, but also increases the
start-up time.
3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult the
resonator/crystal manufacturer for
appropriate values of external components.
4: Rs may be required in HS mode, as well as
XT mode, to avoid overdriving crystals with
low drive level specification.
2.3 RC Oscillator
For timing insensitive applications, the “RC” and
"RCIO" device options offer additional cost savings.
The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply
voltage, the resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) val-
ues and the operating temperature. In addition to this,
the oscillator frequency will vary from unit to unit due to
normal process parameter variation. Furthermore, the
difference in lead frame capacitance between package
types will also affect the oscillation frequency, espe-
cially for low CEXT values. The user also needs to take
into account variation due to tolerance of external R
and C components used. Figure 2-2 shows how the RC
combination is connected.
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other
logic.

The RCIO Oscillator mode functions like the RC mode,
except that the OSC2 pin becomes an additional
general purpose I/O pin.
