External Clock Input: The external clock signal should have the same frequency as the desired
system clock (ø). Clock timing parameters are given in table 6.3 and figure 6.6.

Figure 6.6 External Clock Input Timing
Table 6.4 shows the external clock output settling delay time. Figure 6.7 shows the timing for the
external clock output settling delay time. The oscillator and duty correction circuit have the
function of regulating the waveform of the external clock input to the EXTAL pin. When the
specified clock signal is input to the EXTAL pin, internal clock signal output is confirmed after
the elapse of the external clock output settling delay time (tDEXT). As clock signal output is not
confirmed during the tDEXT period, the reset signal should be driven low and the reset state
maintained during this time.
