Oscillator Configurations
9.2.1
OSCILLATOR TYPES
The PIC12C67X can be operated in seven different
oscillator
modes.
The user can program three
configuration bits (FOSC<2:0>) to select one of these
seven modes:
LP:
Low Power Crystal
HS:
High Speed Crystal/Resonator
XT:
Crystal/Resonator
INTRC*:
Internal 4 MHz Oscillator
EXTRC*: External Resistor/Capacitor
*Can be configured to support CLKOUT
9.2.2
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR / CERAMIC
RESONATORS
In XT, HS or LP modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator
is connected to the GP5/OSC1/CLKIN and GP4/OSC2
pins
to
establish
oscillation
The
PIC12C67X 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, HS or LP modes, the
device can have an external clock source drive the

Note 1:
See Capacitor Selection tables for
recommended values of C1 and C2.
2: A series resistor (RS) may be required for AT
strip cut crystals.
3: RF varies with the oscillator mode selected
(approx. value = 10 M
).

For VDD > 4.5V, C1 = C2

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 specifi-
cation. Since each crystal has its own characteris-
tics, the user should consult the crystal manufacturer
for appropriate values of external components.
