CHAPTER 4: PERIPHERAL CIRCUITS AND OPERATION (Oscillation Circuit)
4.3 Oscillation Circuit
4.3.1 Configuration of oscillation circuit
The S1C63656 has two oscillation circuits (OSC1 and OSC3). OSC1 is a crystal oscillation circuit that
supplies the operating clock to the CPU and peripheral circuits. OSC3 is either a CR or a ceramic oscilla-
tion circuit. When processing with the S1C63656 requires high-speed operation, the CPU operating clock
can be switched from OSC1 to OSC3 by the software.
If the application needs low-voltage and low-power operations precedence to performance, the OSC3
oscillation circuit and the high-speed operation voltage regulator can be disabled by mask option.
Figure 4.3.1.1 is the block diagram of this oscillation system.

4.3.2 OSC1 oscillation circuit
The OSC1 crystal oscillation circuit generates the main clock for the CPU and the peripheral circuits. The
oscillation frequency is 32.768 kHz (Typ.).

Fig. 4.3.2.1 OSC1 oscillation circuit
As shown in Figure 4.3.2.1, the crystal oscillation circuit can be configured simply by connecting the
crystal oscillator (X'tal) of 32.768 kHz (Typ.) between the OSC1 and OSC2 terminals and the trimmer
capacitor (C

terminals.
