87LPC764
Oscillator
The 87LPC764 provides several user selectable oscillator options,
allowing optimization for a range of needs from high precision to
lowest possible cost. These are configured when the EPROM is
programmed. Basic oscillator types that are supported include: low,
medium, and high speed crystals, covering a range from 20 kHz to
20 MHz; ceramic resonators; and on-chip RC oscillator.
Low Frequency Oscillator Option
This option supports an external crystal in the range of 20 kHz to 100 kHz.
Table 5 shows capacitor values that may be used with a quartz crystal in this mode.

On-Chip RC Oscillator Option
pin may be used as a standard port pin. A clock output on the X2/P2.0
pin may be enabled when the external clock input is used.
The on-chip RC oscillator option has a typical frequency of 6 MHz
and can be divided down for slower operation through the use of the
DIVM register. Note that some devices have 10% tolerance and
others 25% tolerance at this time. For on-chip oscillator tolerance
see AC Electrical Characteristics table. A clock output on the
X2/P2.0 pin may be enabled when the on-chip RC oscillator is used.
Clock Output
The 87LPC764 supports a clock output function when either the
on-chip RC oscillator or external clock input options are selected.
This allows external devices to synchronize to the 87LPC764. When
enabled, via the ENCLK bit in the P2M1 register, the clock output
appears on the X2/CLKOUT pin whenever the on-chip oscillator is
running, including in Idle mode. The frequency of the clock output is
1/6 of the CPU clock rate. If the clock output is not needed in Idle
mode, it may be turned off prior to entering Idle, saving additional
power. The clock output may also be enabled when the external
clock input option is selected.
External Clock Input Option
In this configuration, the processor clock is input from an external
source driving the X1/P2.1 pin. The rate may be from 0 Hz up to
20 MHz when V is above 4.5 V and up to 10 MHz when V is

below 4.5 V. When the external clock input mode is used, the X2/P2.0
