PIC24HJ12GP201/202
7.1
The PIC24HJ12GP201/202 device provides seven
system clock options:
• Fast RC (FRC) Oscillator
• FRC Oscillator with PLL
• Primary (XT, HS or EC) Oscillator
• Primary Oscillator with PLL
• Secondary (LP) Oscillator
• Low-Power RC (LPRC) Oscillator
• FRC Oscillator with postscaler
7.1.1
7.1.1.1
The Fast RC (FRC) internal oscillator runs at a nominal
frequency of 7.37 MHz. User software can tune the
FRC frequency. User software can optionally specify a
factor (ranging from 1:2 to 1:256) by which the FRC
clock frequency is divided. This factor is selected using
the FRCDIV<2:0> (CLKDIV<10:8>) bits.
7.1.1.2
The primary oscillator can use one of the following as
its clock source:
• XT (Crystal): Crystals and ceramic resonators in
• HS (High-Speed Crystal): Crystals in the range of
• EC (External Clock): External clock signal in the
7.1.1.3
The secondary (LP) oscillator is designed for low power
and uses a 32.768 kHz crystal or ceramic resonator.
The LP oscillator uses the SOSCI and SOSCO pins.
7.1.1.4
The Low-Power RC (LPRC) internal oscIllator runs at a
nominal frequency of 32.768 kHz. It is also used as a
reference clock by the Watchdog Timer (WDT) and
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM).
7.1.1.5
The clock signals generated by the FRC and primary
oscillators can be optionally applied to an on-chip

7.1.2
The oscillator source used at a device Power-on Reset
event is selected using Configuration bit settings. The
oscillator Configuration bit settings are located in the
Configuration registers in the program memory. (Refer
to Section 18.1 “Configuration Bits” for further
details.) The Initial Oscillator Selection Configuration

primary oscillator is the default (unprogrammed)
selection.
The Configuration bits allow users to choose among 12
different clock modes, shown in Table 7-1.

7.1.3
The primary oscillator and internal FRC oscillator can
optionally use an on-chip PLL to obtain higher speeds
of operation. The PLL provides significant flexibility in
selecting the device operating speed. A block diagram
of the PLL is shown in Figure 7-2.

The PLL Feedback Divisor, selected using the

by which the input to the VCO is multiplied. This factor
must be selected such that the resulting VCO output

The VCO output is further divided by a postscale factor
‘N2.’ This factor is selected using the PLLPOST<1:0>
bits (CLKDIV<7:6>). ‘N2’ can be either 2, 4 or 8, and
must be selected such that the PLL output frequency
