Cautions  7.  The XT1 oscillator is a circuit with low amplification in order to achieve low-power 
consumption. Note the following points when designing the circuit. 
• Pins and circuit boards include parasitic capacitance. Therefore, perform 
oscillation evaluation using a circuit board to be actually used and confirm that 
there are no problems. 
• Before using the ultra-low power consumption oscillation (AMPHS1, AMPHS0 = 1, 
0) as the mode of the XT1 oscillator, evaluate the resonators. 
•  Make the wiring between the XT1 and XT2 pins and the resonators as short as 
possible, and minimize the parasitic capacitance and wiring resistance. Note 
this particularly when the ultra-low power consumption oscillation (AMPHS1, 
AMPHS0 = 1, 0) is selected. 
• Configure the circuit of the circuit board, using material with little wiring 
resistance. 
•  Place a ground pattern that has the same potential as V
SS as much as possible 
near the XT1 oscillator. 
•  Be sure that the signal lines between the XT1 and XT2 pins, and the resonators 
do not cross with the other signal lines. Do not route the wiring near a signal 
line through which a high fluctuating current flows. 
•  The impedance between the XT1 and XT2 pins may drop and oscillation may be 
disturbed due to moisture absorption of the circuit board in a high-humidity 
environment or dew condensation on the board. When using the circuit board in 
such an environment, take measures to damp-proof the circuit board, such as by 
coating. 
•  When coating the circuit board, use material that does not cause capacitance or 
leakage between the XT1 and XT2 pins.
