6.7 128 kHz Internal Oscillator
The 128 kHz internal Oscillator is a low power Oscillator providing a clock of 128 kHz. The fre-
quency is nominal at 3V and 25C. This clock may be select as the system clock by
programming the CKSEL Fuses to “0011” as shown in Table 6-12.
Note: 1. Note that the 128 kHz 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 6-13.
6.8 External Clock
To drive the device from an external clock source, XTAL1 should be driven as shown in Figure
6-3. To run the device on an external clock, the CKSEL Fuses must be programmed to “0000”.
Figure 6-3. External Clock Drive Configuration
When this clock source is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT Fuses as shown in
Table 6-15.
