PIC12C5XX
8.2 Oscillator Configurations
8.2.1 OSCILLATOR TYPES
The PIC12C5XX can be operated in four different
oscillator modes. The user can program two
configuration bits (FOSC1:FOSC0) to select one of
these four modes:
• LP: Low Power Crystal
• XT: Crystal/Resonator
• INTRC: Internal 4 MHz Oscillator
• EXTRC: External Resistor/Capacitor
8.2.2 CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR / CERAMIC
RESONATORS
In XT or LP modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator is
connected to the GP5/OSC1/CLKIN and GP4/OSC2
pins to establish oscillation (Figure 8-2). The
PIC12C5XX oscillator design requires the use of a
parallel cut crystal. Use of a series cut crystal may give
a frequency out of the crystal manufacturers
specifications. When in XT or LP modes, the device
can have an external clock source drive the GP5/
OSC1/CLKIN pin (Figure 8-3).

These values are for design guidance only. Rs may
be required to avoid overdriving crystals with low
drive level specification. Since each crystal has its
own characteristics, the user should consult the crys-
tal manufacturer for appropriate values of external
components.
