2.6 Oscillator Switching Feature
The PIC18FXX20 devices include a feature that allows
the system clock source to be switched from the main
oscillator to an alternate low-frequency clock source.
For the PIC18FXX20 devices, this alternate clock
source is the Timer1 oscillator. If a low-frequency
crystal (32 kHz, for example) has been attached to the
Timer1 oscillator pins and the Timer1 oscillator has
been enabled, the device can switch to a low-power
execution mode. Figure 2-7 shows a block diagram of
the system clock sources. The clock switching feature
is enabled by programming the Oscillator Switching
Enable (OSCSEN) bit in Configuration Register 1H to a
‘0’. Clock switching is disabled in an erased device.
See Section 12.0 “Timer1 Module” for further details
of the Timer1 oscillator. See Section 23.0 “Special
Features of the CPU” for Configuration register
details.
