2549Q–AVR–02/2014
Note: 1. If 8MHz frequency exceeds the specification of the device (depends on V
CC
), the CKDIV8 Fuse can be pro-
grammed 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.
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 sta-
bility at start-up is not important for the application.
10.6 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 10-3 on page 44. When this Oscillator is selected, start-up
times are determined by the SUT Fuses and CKSEL0 as shown in Table 10-8 on page 44.
The Low-Frequency Crystal Oscillator provides an internal load capacitance, see Table 10-7 at each XTAL/TOSC
pin.
