3.0 OSCILLATOR
CONFIGURATIONS
3.1 Oscillator Types
PIC18F2480/2580/4480/4580 devices can be operated
in ten different oscillator modes. The user can program
the Configuration bits, FOSC<3:0>, in Configuration
Register 1H to select one of these ten modes:
1. LP Low-Power Crystal
2. XT Crystal/Resonator
3. HS High-Speed Crystal/Resonator
4. HSPLL High-Speed Crystal/Resonator
with PLL Enabled
5. RC External Resistor/Capacitor with
F
OSC/4 Output on RA6
6. RCIO External Resistor/Capacitor with I/O
on RA6
7. INTIO1 Internal Oscillator with F
OSC/4 Output
on RA6 and I/O on RA7
8. INTIO2 Internal Oscillator with I/O on RA6
and RA7
9. EC External Clock with F
OSC/4 Output
10. ECIO External Clock with I/O on RA6
3.2 Crystal Oscillator/Ceramic
Resonators
In XT, LP, HS or HSPLL Oscillator modes, a crystal or
ceramic resonator is connected to the OSC1 and
OSC2 pins to establish oscillation. Figure 3-1 shows
the pin connections.
The oscillator design requires the use of a parallel
resonant crystal.

Note: Use of a series resonant crystal may give
a frequency out of the crystal
manufacturer’s specifications.

Capacitor values are for design guidance only.
These capacitors were tested with the resonators
listed below for basic start-up and operation. These
values are not optimized.
Different capacitor values may be required to produce
acceptable oscillator operation. The user should test
the performance of the oscillator over the expected
V
DD and temperature range for the application.
See the notes on page 30 for additional information.
Resonators Used:
455 kHz 4.0 MHz
2.0 MHz 8.0 MHz
16.0 MHz
Note: When using resonators with frequencies
above 3.5 MHz, the use of HS mode,
rather than XT mode, is recommended.
HS mode may be used at any V
DD for
which the controller is rated. If HS is
selected, it is possible that the gain of the
oscillator will overdrive the resonator.
Therefore, a series resistor should be
placed between the OSC2 pin and the
resonator. As a good starting point, the
recommended value of R
S is 330Ω.
Note 1: See Table 3-1 and Table 3-2 for initial values of
C1 and C2.
2: A series resistor (R
S) may be required for AT
strip cut crystals.
3: R
F varies with the oscillator mode chosen.
