ATmega323(L)
1457E11/01
Clock Options The device has the following clock source options, selectable by Flash fuse bits as
shown:
Note: 1 means unprogrammed, 0 means programmed.
The various choices for each clocking option give different start-up times as shown in
Table 6 on page 27.
Internal RC Oscillator The internal RC oscillator option is an On-chip oscillator running at a fixed frequency of
nominally 1 MHz. If selected, the device can operate with no external components. See
Calibrated Internal RC Oscillator on page 40 for information on calibrating this
oscillator.
Crystal Oscillator XTAL1 and XTAL2 are input and output, respectively, of an inverting amplifier which can
be configured for use as an On-chip oscillator, as shown in Figure 2. Either a quartz
crystal or a ceramic resonator may be used.
