9.7 128kHz Internal Oscillator
The 128kHz internal Oscillator is a low power Oscillator providing a clock of 128kHz. The frequency is nominal
at 3V and 25C. This clock may be select as the system clock by programming the CKSEL Fuses to “11” as
shown in Table 9-13.
Note: 1. Note that the 128kHz oscillator is a very low power clock source, and is not designed for high accuracy.
When this clock source is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT Fuses as shown in Table 9-14.
Note: 1. If the RSTDISBL fuse is programmed, this start-up time will be increased to
14CK + 4.1ms to ensure programming mode can be entered.
9.8 External Clock
To drive the device from an external clock source, XTAL1 should be driven as shown in Figure 9-4. To run the
device on an external clock, the CKSEL Fuses must be programmed to “0000” (see Table 9-15).
Figure 9-4. External Clock Drive Configuration
When this clock source is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT Fuses as shown in Table 9-16.
