12.2 Oscillator Configurations
12.2.1 OSCILLATOR TYPES
The PIC16F7X can be operated in four different oscil-
lator modes. The user can program two configuration
bits (FOSC1 and FOSC0) to select one of these four
modes:
• LP
• XT
• HS
• RC
Low Power Crystal
Crystal/Resonator
High Speed Crystal/Resonator
Resistor/Capacitor
12.2.2 CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR/CERAMIC
RESONATORS
In XT, LP or HS modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator is
connected to the OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT
pins to establish oscillation (Figure 12-1). The
PIC16F7X oscillator design requires the use of a parallel
cut crystal. Use of a series cut crystal may give a fre-
quency out of the crystal manufacturers specifications.
When in HS mode, the device can accept an external
clock source to drive the OSC1/CLKIN pin (Figure 12-2).
See Figure 15-1 or Figure 15-2 (depending on the part
number and VDD range) for valid external clock
frequencies.

Note 1: See Table 12-1 and Table 12-2 for recom-
mended values of C1 and C2.
2: A series resistor (RS) may be required for AT
strip cut crystals.
3: RF varies with the crystal chosen.

Capacitor values are for design guidance only.
These capacitors were tested with the resonators
listed below for basic start-up and operation. These
values were not optimized.
Different capacitor values may be required to produce
acceptable oscillator operation. The user should test
the performance of the oscillator over the expected
VDD and temperature range for the application.
See the notes at the bottom of page 92 for additional
information.
