3.3.3 LP, XT, HS MODES
The LP, XT and HS modes support the use of quartz
crystal resonators or ceramic resonators connected to
OSC1 and OSC2 (Figure 3-3). The mode selects a low,
medium or high gain setting of the internal inverter-
amplifier to support various resonator types and speed.
LP Oscillator mode selects the lowest gain setting of
the internal inverter-amplifier. LP mode current
consumption is the least of the three modes. This mode
is designed to drive only 32.768 kHz tuning-fork type
crystals (watch crystals).
XT Oscillator mode selects the intermediate gain
setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. XT mode
current consumption is the medium of the three modes.
This mode is best suited to drive resonators with a
medium drive level specification.
HS Oscillator mode selects the highest gain setting of
the internal inverter-amplifier. HS mode current
consumption is the highest of the three modes. This
mode is best suited for resonators that require a high
drive setting.
Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4 show typical circuits for
quartz crystal and ceramic resonators, respectively.

A series resistor (RS) may be required for
quartz crystals with low drive level.
The value of RF varies with the Oscillator mode
selected (typically between 2 MΩ to 10 MΩ).
Note 1: Quartz crystal characteristics vary according
to type, package and manufacturer. The
user should consult the manufacturer data
sheets for specifications and recommended
application.
2: Always verify oscillator performance over
the VDD and temperature range that is
expected for the application.
