C1 and C2 should always be equal for both crystals and resonators. The optimal value of the capacitors
depends on the crystal or resonator in use, the amount of stray capacitance, and the electromagnetic noise of
the environment. Some initial guidelines for choosing capacitors for use with crystals are given in the below
table. For ceramic resonators, the capacitor values given by the manufacturer should be used.
Figure 6-2. Crystal Oscillator Connections
The Low Power Oscillator can operate in three different modes, each optimized for a specific frequency range.
The operating mode is selected by the fuses CKSEL[3..1] as shown in this table.
Notes: 1. This option should not be used with crystals, only with ceramic resonators.
2. If 8 MHz frequency exceeds the specification of the device (depends on VCC), the CKDIV8 Fuse can be
programmed in order to divide the internal frequency by 8. It must be ensured that the resulting divided clock
meets the frequency specification of the device.
The CKSEL0 Fuse together with the SUT1..0 Fuses select the start-up times as shown in this table.
