When this Oscillator is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT fuses as
shown in Table 8.

Calibrated Internal RC
Oscillator
The Calibrated Internal RC Oscillator provides a fixed 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, or 8.0 MHz clock. All
frequencies are nominal values at 5V and 25°C. This clock may be selected as the sys-
tem clock by programming the CKSEL fuses as shown in Table 9. If selected, it will
operate with no external components. The CKOPT Fuse should always be unpro-
grammed when using this clock option. During Reset, hardware loads the calibration
byte for the 1MHz into the OSCCAL Register and thereby automatically calibrates the
RC Oscillator. At 5V, 25°C and 1.0 MHz Oscillator frequency selected, this calibration
gives a frequency within 3ꢀ of the nominal frequency. Using calibration methods as
described in application notes available at www.atmel.com/avr it is possible to achieve
1ꢀ accuracy at any given VCC and Temperature. When this Oscillator is used as the
Chip Clock, the Watchdog Oscillator will still be used for the Watchdog Timer and for the
reset time-out. For more information on the pre-programmed calibration value, see the
section “Calibration Byte” on page 258.
