each time-out is shown in Table 6. The frequency of the Watchdog Oscillator is voltage
dependent as shown in the Electrical Characteristics section. The device is shipped with
PLLCK = “1”, CKSEL = “0001”, and SUT = “10” (1 MHz Internal RC Oscillator, slowly ris-
ing power).
Crystal Oscillator XTAL1 and XTAL2 are input and output, respectively, of an inverting amplifier which can
be configured for use as an On-chip Oscillator, as shown in Figure 28. Either a quartz
crystal or a ceramic resonator may be used. The maximum frequency for resonators is
12 MHz. The CKOPT Fuse should always be unprogrammed when using this clock
option. C1 and C2 should always be equal. The optimal value of the capacitors depends
on the crystal or resonator in use, the amount of stray capacitance, and the electromag-
netic noise of the environment. Some initial guidelines for choosing capacitors for use
with crystals are given in Table 7. For ceramic resonators, the capacitor values given by
the manufacturer should be used.
Figure 28. Crystal Oscillator Connections
The Oscillator can operate in three different modes, each optimized for a specific fre-
quency range. The operating mode is selected by the fuses CKSEL3..1 as shown in
Table 7.
Notes: 1. The frequency ranges are preliminary values. Actual values are TBD.
2. This option should not be used with crystals, only with ceramic resonators.
