5.2.3 XCLKS — Colpitts/Pierce Oscillator Selection Signal
The XCLKS is an input signal which controls whether a crystal in combination with the internal Colpitts
(low power) oscillator is used or whether the Pierce oscillator/external clock circuitry is used. The XCLKS
signal is sampled during reset with the rising edge of
RESET. Table 5-1 lists the state coding of the
sampled XCLKS signal. Refer to the device overview chapter for polarity of the XCLKS pin.
