4.5.2 High Speed External Clock Source (> 4MHz)
The recommended method of connecting an external clock is given in Figure 4-7. The external clock
source is connected to XTAL and the EXTAL pin is held at ground (recommended), VDDA, or VDDA/2.
The TOD_SEL bit in CGM must be set to 1.

4.5.3 Low Speed External Clock Source (2-4MHz)
The recommended method of connecting an external clock is given in Figure 4-8. The external clock
source is connected to XTAL and the EXTAL pin is held at VDDA/2. The TOD_SEL bit in CGM may be
set to 0 or 1. 0 is recommended.
