CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
PCnet-Home devices include on-chip oscillator cir-
cuitry allowing the use of a 20 MHz external crystal
attached to the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins, and XCLK/
XTAL pin tied LOW. Alternatively, a 60 MHz clock
source can also be used to drive the XTAL1 pin, in
which case the XTAL2 pin MUST be left unconnected
and XCLK/XTAL tied HIGH. Table 2 shows the ap-
propriate clock select and Figure 4 shows the clock
interface.
Table 2.
External Clock Source Selection
When selecting a crystal for use in the PCnet-Home
design, the crystal should meet the 50 ppm, 18 pF stan-
dard load capacitors (or 33 pF), and 0.005% tolerance
at 20 MHz (see Table 3).

External Crystal Characteristics
When using a crystal to drive the oscillator, the follow-
ing crystal specification in Table 3 may be used to en-
sure less than ±0.5 ns jitter at DO±.
