Low-frequency

Crystal Oscillator

To use a 32.768 kHz watch crystal as the clock source for the device, the Low-frequency Crystal

Oscillator must be selected by setting the CKSEL fuses to “1001”. The crystal should be con-

nected as shown in Figure 12. By programming the CKOPT Fuse, the user can enable internal

capacitors on XTAL1 and XTAL2, thereby removing the need for external capacitors. The inter-

nal capacitors have a nominal value of 36 pF.

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

Table 6.

External RC

Oscillator

For timing insensitive applications, the external RC configuration shown in Figure 13 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. For more information on

Oscillator operation and details on how to choose R and C, refer to the External RC Oscillator

application note.

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 7.
