Clock Options

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 2 and Figure 3.
Either a quartz crystal or a ceramic resonator may be used.

External Clock

If the Oscillator is to be used as a clock for an external device, the clock signal from
XTAL2 may be routed to one HC buffer while reducing the load capacitor by 5 pF, as
shown in Figure 3. To drive the device from an external clock source, XTAL2 should be
left unconnected while XTAL1 is driven as shown in Figure 4.
