of the oscillator, but also increases the
start-up time.

as XT mode, to avoid overdriving crystals
with low drive level specification.

at the expected voltage and temperature
extremes in which the application is
expected to operate.
13.2.3
RC OSCILLATOR
Note: Resonators used did not have built-in capacitors.
For timing insensitive applications, the “RC” device
option offers additional cost savings. The RC oscillator
frequency is a function of the supply voltage, the resis-
tor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values, and the operat-
ing temperature. The oscillator frequency will vary from
unit to unit due to normal process variation. The differ-
ence in lead frame capacitance between package
types will also affect the oscillation frequency, espe-
cially for low CEXT values. The user also needs to take
into account variation due to tolerance of external R
and C components used. Figure 13-3 shows how the
R/C combination is connected to the PIC16CXX.
