Note 1: Instruction cycle period (T
CY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period for all configurations except PLL. All
specified values are based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating condi-
tions 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 OSC1/CLKIN pin. When an external clock input is used, the “max.” cycle time limit is “DC” (no
clock) for all devices.
