Note 1: Higher capacitance increases the stability
of the oscillator but also increases the
start-up time.
2: Rs (see Figure 2-1) may be required in
HS mode, as well as XT mode, to avoid
overdriving crystals with low drive level
specification.
3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult the
resonator/crystal manufacturer for appro-
priate values of external components, or
verify oscillator performance.
An external clock source may also be connected to the
OSC1 pin in the HS, XT and LP modes as shown in
Figure 2-2.

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 2-3 shows how the
R/C 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 gen-
eral purpose I/O pin. The I/O pin becomes bit 6 of
PORTA (RA6).
