External RC Oscillator

For timing insensitive applications, the external RC configuration shown in Figure 8-4 can be

used. The frequency is roughly estimated by the equation f = 1/(3RC). C should be at least 22

pF. By programming the CKOPT Fuse, the user can enable an internal 36 pF capacitor between

XTAL1 and GND, thereby removing the need for an external capacitor.

Figure 8-4.

External RC Configuration

The Oscillator can operate in four different modes, each optimized for a specific frequency

range. The operating mode is selected by the fuses CKSEL3:0 as shown in Table 8-5.

When this Oscillator is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT Fuses as shown in

Table 8-6.

Note:

1. This option should not be used when operating close to the maximum frequency of the device.
