3.2 External Clock Operation
The system clock can be derived from an external crystal, ceramic resonator, or an external system clock
signal. To generate a reference frequency using the internal oscillator, a reference crystal or ceramic
resonator must be connected between the EXTAL and XTAL pins.
3.2.1
Crystal Oscillator
The internal oscillator is also designed to interface with a parallel-resonant crystal resonator in the
frequency range specified for the external crystal in Table 10-13. A recommended crystal oscillator circuit
is shown in Figure 3-2. Follow the crystal supplier’s recommendations when selecting a crystal, since
crystal parameters determine the component values required to provide maximum stability and reliable
