ATmega16(L)
When this Oscillator is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT Fuses as shown in
Table 8.
Note: 1. This option should not be used when operating close to the maximum frequency of the device.
Calibrated Internal
RC Oscillator
The Calibrated Internal RC Oscillator provides a fixed 1.0 MHz, 2.0 MHz, 4.0 MHz, or 8.0 MHz
clock. All frequencies are nominal values at 5V and 25°C. This clock may be selected as the
system-clock by programming the CKSEL Fuses as shown in Table 9. If selected, it will operate
with no external components. The CKOPT Fuse should always be unpro-grammed when using
this clock option. During Reset, hardware loads the calibration byte into the OSCCAL Register
and thereby automatically calibrates the RC Oscillator. At 5V, 25°C and 1.0 MHz, 2.0 MHz, 4.0
MHz or 8.0 MHz Oscillator frequency selected, this calibration gives a frequency within ±3% of
the nominal frequency. Using calibration methods as described in application notes available at
www.atmel.com/avr it is possible to achieve ±1% accuracy at any given V
CC
and Temperature.
When this Oscillator is used as the Chip Clock, the Watchdog Oscillator will still be used for the
Watchdog Timer and for the reset time-out. For more information on the pre-programmed cali-
bration value, see the section “Calibration Byte” on page 261.
Note: 1. The device is shipped with this option selected.
When this Oscillator is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT Fuses as shown in
Table 10. XTAL1 and XTAL2 should be left unconnected (NC).
Note: 1. The device is shipped with this option selected.
