Low Frequency Crystal
Oscillator
The device can utilize a 32.768 kHz watch crystal as clock source by a dedicated Low
Frequency Crystal Oscillator. The crystal should be connected as shown in Figure 21.
When this Oscillator is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT Fuses and
CKSEL0 as shown in Table 16.
Note: 1. These options should only be used if frequency stability at start-up is not important
for the application.
Calibrated Internal RC
Oscillator
By defaylt, the Internal RC Oscillator provides an approximate 8 MHz clock. Though volt-
age and temperature dependent, this clock can be very accurately calibrated by the
user. See Table 172 on page 384 and “Internal Oscillator Speed” on page 409 for more
details. The device is shipped with the CKDIV8 Fuse programmed. See “System Clock
Prescaler” on page 47 for more details.
This clock may be selected as the system clock by programming the CKSEL Fuses as
shown in Table 17. If selected, it will operate with no external components. During reset,
hardware loads the pre-programmed calibration value into the OSCCAL Register and
thereby automatically calibrates the RC Oscillator. The accuracy of this calibration is
shown as Factory calibration in Table 172 on page 384.
By changing the OSCCAL register from SW, see “OSCCAL – Oscillator Calibration Reg-
ister” on page 48, it is possible to get a higher calibration accuracy than by using the
factory calibration. The accuracy of this calibration is shown as User calibration in Table
172 on page 384.
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 calibration value, see the section “Calibration Byte” on page 345.
Notes: 1. The device is shipped with this option selected.
2. The frequency ranges are preliminary values. Actual values are TBD.
3. If 8 MHz frequency exceeds the specification of the device (depends on V
CC
), the
CKDIV8 Fuse can be programmed in order to divide the internal frequency by 8.
When this Oscillator is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT Fuses as
shown in Table 18 on page 45.
