Crystal Oscillator
An external clock signal or the internal
crystal oscillator can be used as main
frequency
frequency must be 16 MHz. Because the
crystal frequency is used as reference for
the data rate as well as other internal
signal
frequencies cannot be used.
If an external clock signal is used this
should be connected to XOSC16_Q1, while
XOSC16_Q2 should be left open. The
MAIN.XOSC16M_BYPASS bit must be set
when an external clock signal is used.
Using the internal crystal oscillator, the
crystal must be connected between the
XOSC16_Q1 and XOSC16_Q2 pins. The
oscillator is designed for parallel mode
operation of the crystal. In addition,
loading capacitors (C
crystal are required. The loading capacitor

The total load capacitance seen between
the crystal terminals should equal C

frequency.

The
regulated. This means that a high current
is used to start up the oscillations. When
the amplitude builds up, the current is
reduced to what is necessary to maintain
a stable oscillation. This ensures a fast
start-up and keeps the drive level to a
minimum. The ESR of the crystal must be
within the specification in order to ensure
a reliable start-up (see the Electrical
Specifications section).
