Notes: 1. These options should only be used when not operating close to the maximum frequency of the device, and
only if frequency stability at start-up is not important for the application. These options are not suitable for
crystals.
2. These options are intended for use with ceramic resonators and will ensure frequency stability at start-up. They
can also be used with crystals when not operating close to the maximum frequency of the device, and if
frequency stability at start-up is not important for the application.
Note: 1.
The device is shipped with this option selected.
6.4 Low Frequency Crystal Oscillator
The device can utilize a 32.768kHz watch crystal as clock source by a dedicated Low Frequency Crystal
Oscillator. The crystal should be connected as shown in Figure 6-2 on page 30. When this Oscillator is selected,
start-up times are determined by the SUT Fuses and CKSEL0 as shown in the table below.
