8.3 Control Registers
The operation of the oscillator is controlled by three
Special Function Registers (SFRs):
• OSCCON
•CLKDIV
•OSCTUN
The OSCCON register (Register 8-1) is the main con-
trol register for the oscillator. It controls clock source
switching and allows the monitoring of clock sources.
The CLKDIV register (Register 8-2) controls the
features associated with Doze mode, as well as the
postscaler for the FRC Oscillator.
The OSCTUN register (Register 8-3) allows the user to
fine tune the FRC Oscillator over a range of approxi-
mately ±12%.

Note 1: Reset values for these bits are determined by the FNOSC Configuration bits.
2: The state of the IOLOCK bit can only be changed once an unlocking sequence has been executed. In
addition, if the IOL1WAY Configuration bit is ‘1’ once the IOLOCK bit is set, it cannot be cleared.
3: Also, resets to ‘0’ during any valid clock switch or whenever a non-PLL Clock mode is selected.
