19.1. System Clock Selection
The CLKSL[2:0] bits in register CLKSEL select which oscillator source is used as the system clock.
CLKSL[2:0] must be set to 001b for the system clock to run from the external oscillator; however the exter-
nal oscillator may still clock certain peripherals (timers, PCA) when the internal oscillator is selected as the
system clock. The system clock may be switched on-the-fly between the internal oscillators and external
oscillator so long as the selected clock source is enabled and running.
The internal high-frequency and low-frequency oscillators require little start-up time and may be selected
as the system clock immediately following the register write which enables the oscillator. The external RC
and C modes also typically require no startup time.
