19.2.3 LP OSCILLATOR CONTROL
Enabling the LP oscillator is controlled with two
elements:
• The current oscillator group bits COSC<1:0>
• The LPOSCEN bit (OSCCON register)
The LP oscillator is ON (even during Sleep mode) if
LPOSCEN = 1. The LP oscillator is the device clock if:
• COSC<1:0> = 00 (LP selected as main osc.) and
• LPOSCEN = 1
Keeping the LP oscillator ON at all times allows for a
fast switch to the 32 kHz system clock for lower power
operation. Returning to the faster main oscillator will
still require a start-up time
19.2.4 PHASE-LOCKED LOOP (PLL)
The PLL multiplies the clock that is generated by the
primary oscillator. The PLL is selectable to have either
gains of x4, x8, and x16. Input and output frequency
ranges are summarized in Table 19-3.
TABLE 19-3: PLL FREQUENCY RANGE
The PLL features a lock output which is asserted when
the PLL enters a phase locked state. Should the loop
fall out of lock (e.g., due to noise), the lock signal will be
rescinded. The state of this signal is reflected in the
read-only LOCK bit in the OSCCON register.
19.2.5 FAST RC OSCILLATOR (FRC)
The FRC oscillator is a fast (7.37 MHz ±2% nominal)
internal RC oscillator. This oscillator is intended to
provide reasonable device operating speeds without
the use of an external crystal, ceramic resonator or RC
network.
The dsPIC30F operates from the FRC oscillator when
the current oscillator selection control bits in the
OSCCON register (OSCCON<13:12>) are set to ‘01’.
The four bit field specified by TUN<3:0> (OSCCON
<15:14> and OSCCON<11:10>) allows the user to tune
the internal fast RC oscillator (nominal 7.37MHz). The
user can tune the FRC oscillator within a range of -12%
(or -960 kHz) to +10.5% (or +840 kHz) in steps of
1.50% around the factory calibrated setting, see
Table 19-4.

19.2.6 LOW-POWER RC OSCILLATOR
(LPRC)
The LPRC oscillator is a component of the Watchdog
Timer (WDT) and oscillates at a nominal frequency of
512 kHz. The LPRC oscillator is the clock source for
the Power-up Timer (PWRT) circuit, WDT, and clock
monitor circuits. It may also be used to provide a low
frequency clock source option for applications where
power consumption is critical and timing accuracy is
not required
The LPRC oscillator is always enabled at a Power-on
Reset because it is the clock source for the PWRT.
After the PWRT expires, the LPRC oscillator will remain
on if one of the following is true:
• The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled
• The WDT is enabled
• The LPRC oscillator is selected as the system
clock via the COSC<1:0> control bits in the
OSCCON register
If one of the above conditions is not true, the LPRC will
shut-off after the PWRT expires.

Note: OSCTUN functionality has been provided
to help customers compensate for
temperature effects on the FRC frequency
over a wide range of temperatures. The
tuning step size is an approximation and is
neither characterized nor tested.

Note 1: OSC2 pin function is determined by the
Primary Oscillator mode selection
(FPR<3:0>).
2: OSC1 pin cannot be used as an I/O pin
even if the secondary oscillator or an
internal clock source is selected at all
times.
