PIC24HJXXXGPX06/X08/X10
9.0 OSCILLATOR 
CONFIGURATION
The PIC24HJXXXGPX06/X08/X10 oscillator system
provides:
• Various external and internal oscillator options as 
clock sources
• An on-chip PLL to scale the internal operating 
frequency to the required system clock frequency
• The internal FRC oscillator can also be used with 
the PLL, thereby allowing full-speed operation 
without any external clock generation hardware
• Clock switching between various clock sources
• Programmable clock postscaler for system power 
savings
• A Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) that detects 
clock failure and takes fail-safe measures
• A Clock Control register (OSCCON)
• Nonvolatile Configuration bits for main oscillator 
selection.
A simplified diagram of the oscillator system is shown
in Figure 9-1.
