Oscillator Configurations
7.2.1
OSCILLATOR TYPES
The PIC12C5XX can be operated in four different
oscillator modes. The user can program two
configuration bits (FOSC1:FOSC0) to select one of
these four modes:
LP:
Low Power Crystal
XT:
Crystal/Resonator
INTRC: Internal 4 MHz Oscillator
EXTRC: External Resistor/Capacitor
7.2.2
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR / CERAMIC
RESONATORS
In XT or LP modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator is
connected to the GP5/OSC1/CLKIN and GP4/OSC2
pins to establish oscillation (Figure 7-2). The
PIC12C5XX oscillator design requires the use of a
parallel cut crystal. Use of a series cut crystal may
give a frequency out of the crystal manufacturers
specifications. When in XT or LP modes, the device
can have an external clock source drive the GP5/
OSC1/CLKIN pin (Figure 7-3).

(approx. value = 10 M
).

These values are for design guidance only. Rs may
be required in HS mode as well as XT mode to avoid
overdriving crystals with low drive level specification.
Since each crystal has its own characteristics, the
user should consult the crystal manufacturer for
appropriate values of external components.
