bit 7 bit 0
Legend: y = Value set from Configuration bits on POR
R = Readable bit W = Writable bit U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
-n = Value at POR ‘1’ = Bit is set ‘0’ = Bit is cleared x = Bit is unknown
bit 15 Unimplemented: Read as ‘0’
bit 14-12 COSC<2:0>: Current Oscillator Selection bits (read-only)
111 = Fast RC Oscillator (FRC) with Divide-by-n
110 = Fast RC Oscillator (FRC) with Divide-by-16
101 = Low-Power RC Oscillator (LPRC)
100 = Reserved
011 = Primary Oscillator (XT, HS, EC) with PLL
010 = Primary Oscillator (XT, HS, EC)
001 = Fast RC Oscillator (FRC) with Divide-by-N and PLL (FRCPLL)
000 = Fast RC Oscillator (FRC)
bit 11 Unimplemented: Read as ‘0’
bit 10-8 NOSC<2:0>: New Oscillator Selection bits
(2)
111 = Fast RC Oscillator (FRC) with Divide-by-n
110 = Fast RC Oscillator (FRC) with Divide-by-16
101 = Low-Power RC Oscillator (LPRC)
100 = Reserved
011 = Primary Oscillator (XT, HS, EC) with PLL
010 = Primary Oscillator (XT, HS, EC)
001 = Fast RC Oscillator (FRC) with Divide-by-N and PLL (FRCPLL)
000 = Fast RC Oscillator (FRC)
bit 7 CLKLOCK: Clock Lock Enable bit
1 = If (FCKSM0 = 1), then clock and PLL configurations are locked; if (FCKSM0 = 0), then clock and
PLL configurations may be modified
0 = Clock and PLL selections are not locked, configurations may be modified
bit 6 IOLOCK: I/O Lock Enable bit
1 = I/O lock is active
0 = I/O lock is not active
bit 5 LOCK: PLL Lock Status bit (read-only)
1 = Indicates that PLL is in lock or PLL start-up timer is satisfied
0 = Indicates that PLL is out of lock, start-up timer is in progress or PLL is disabled
Note 1: Writes to this register require an unlock sequence. Refer to Section 7. “Oscillator” (DS70580) in the
“dsPIC33E/PIC24E Family Reference Manual” (available from the Microchip web site) for details.
2: Direct clock switches between any primary oscillator mode with PLL and FRCPLL mode are not permitted.
This applies to clock switches in either direction. In these instances, the application must switch to FRC
mode as a transitional clock source between the two PLL modes.
3: This bit should only be cleared in software. Setting the bit in software (= 1) will have the same effect as an
actual oscillator failure and trigger an oscillator failure trap.
