Ranges Characterized:
The PIC16F62X can be operated in eight different
oscillator options. The user can program three
configuration bits (FOSC2 thru FOSC0) to select one of
these eight modes:

Higher capacitance increases the stability of the oscillator
but also increases the start-up time. These values are for
design guidance only. Since each resonator has its own
characteristics, the user should consult the resonator man-
ufacturer for appropriate values of external components.
14.2.2 CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR / CERAMIC
RESONATORS
TABLE 14-2: CAPACITOR SELECTION FOR
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
In XT, LP or HS modes a crystal or ceramic resonator
is connected to the OSC1 and OSC2 pins to establish
oscillation (Figure 14-2). The PIC16F62X oscillator
design requires the use of a parallel cut crystal. Use of
a series cut crystal may give a frequency out of the
crystal manufacturers specifications. When in XT, LP or
HS modes, the device can have an external clock
source to drive the OSC1 pin (Figure 14-3).

Higher capacitance increases the stability of the oscillator
but also increases the start-up time. These values are for
design guidance only. Rs may be required in HS mode as
well as XT mode to avoid overdriving crystals with low drive
level specification. Since each crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult the crystal manu-
facturer for appropriate values of external components.
