Note 1: Data in the “Typ” column is at 3.3V, +25°C unless otherwise stated.
2: Represents input to the system clock prescaler. PLL dividers and postscalers must still be configured so
that the system clock frequency does not exceed the maximum frequency shown in Figure 37-1.
3: Instruction cycle period (T
CY) equals two times the input oscillator time base period. All specified values are
based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type, under standard operating conditions, with
the device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator operation
and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at “Min.” values with an
external clock applied to the OSCI/CLKI pin. When an external clock input is used, the “Max.” cycle time
limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.
4: Measurements are taken in EC mode. The CLKO signal is measured on the OSCO pin. CLKO is low for the
Q1-Q2 period (1/2 T
CY) and high for the Q3-Q4 period (1/2 TCY).
