Crystal Oscillator Output—This output should be connected to an 8MHz
external crystal or ceramic resonator. For more information, please refer to
Section 3.5.
This pin can also be connected to an external clock source. For more
information, please refer to Section 3.5.3.
Port B GPIO—This multiplexed pin is a General Purpose I/O (GPIO) pin that
can be programmed as an input or output pin. This I/O can be utilized when
using the on-chip relaxation oscillator so the XTAL pin is not needed.

1 IRQA
Input
(Schmitt)
Input External Interrupt Request A—The IRQA input is a synchronized
external interrupt request that indicates that an external device is
requesting service. It can be programmed to be level-sensitive or
negative-edge- triggered.
1 RESET
Input
(Schmitt)
Input Reset—This input is a direct hardware reset on the processor. When
RESET is asserted low, the controller is initialized and placed in the
Reset state. A Schmitt trigger input is used for noise immunity. When the
RESET
pin is deasserted, the initial chip operating mode is latched from
the EXTBOOT pin. The internal reset signal will be deasserted
synchronous with the internal clocks, after a fixed number of internal
clocks.
To ensure complete hardware reset, RESET and TRST should be
asserted together. The only exception occurs in a debugging
environment when a hardware device reset is required and it is
necessary not to reset the OnCE/JTAG module. In this case, assert
RESET
, but do not assert TRST.

6 PWMA0-5 Output Tri-stated PWMA0-5— These are six PWMA output pins.
1 FAULTA0 Input
(Schmitt)
Input FAULTA0— This fault input pin is used for disabling selected PWMA
outputs in cases where fault conditions originate off-chip.
