3.3 Clock Sources and
Oscillator Switching
Essentially, PIC18F87J11 family devices have three
independent clock sources:
• Primary oscillators
• Secondary oscillators
• Internal oscillator
The primary oscillators can be thought of as the main
device oscillators. These are any external oscillators
connected to the OSC1 and OSC2 pins, and include
the External Crystal and Resonator modes, and the
External Clock modes. If selected by the FOSC<2:0>
Configuration bits, the internal oscillator block (either
the 31 kHz INTRC or the 8 MHz INTOSC source) may
be considered a primary oscillator. The particular mode
is defined by the FOSCx Configuration bits. The details
of these modes are covered in Section 3.4 “External
Oscillator Modes”.
The secondary oscillators are external clock sources
that are not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2 pins.
These sources may continue to operate even after the
controller is placed in a power-managed mode.
PIC18F87J11 family devices offer the Timer1 oscillator
as a secondary oscillator source. This oscillator, in all
power-managed modes, is often the time base for
functions, such as a Real-Time Clock (RTC). The
Timer1 oscillator is discussed in greater detail in
Section 14.0 “Timer1 Module”.
In addition to being a primary clock source in some cir-
cumstances, the internal oscillator is available as a
power-managed mode clock source. The INTRC
source is also used as the clock source for several
special features, such as the WDT and Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor. The internal oscillator block is discussed in
more detail in Section 3.5 “Internal Oscillator
Block”.
The PIC18F87J11 family includes features that allow
the device clock source to be switched from the main
oscillator, chosen by device configuration, to one of the
alternate clock sources. When an alternate clock
source is enabled, various power-managed operating
modes are available.
