PIC18CXX2
2.6.2 OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS
The PIC18CXX2 devices contain circuitry to prevent
"glitches" when switching between oscillator sources.
Essentially, the circuitry waits for eight rising edges of
the clock source that the processor is switching to. This
ensures that the new clock source is stable and that it’s
pulse width will not be less than the shortest pulse
width of the two clock sources.
A timing diagram indicating the transition from the main
oscillator to the Timer1 oscillator is shown in
Figure 2-8. The Timer1 oscillator is assumed to be run-
ning all the time. After the SCS bit is set, the processor
is frozen at the next occurring Q1 cycle. After eight syn-
chronization cycles are counted from the Timer1 oscil-
lator, operation resumes. No additional delays are
required after the synchronization cycles.

Note 1: Delay on internal system clock is eight oscillator cycles for synchronization.
The sequence of events that takes place when switch-
ing from the Timer1 oscillator to the main oscillator will
depend on the mode of the main oscillator. In addition
to eight clock cycles of the main oscillator, additional
delays may take place.
If the main oscillator is configured for an external crys-
tal (HS, XT, LP), then the transition will take place after
an oscillator start-up time (TOST) has occurred. A timing
diagram indicating the transition from the Timer1 oscil-
lator to the main oscillator for HS, XT and LP modes is
shown in Figure 2-9.
