5.4.2 Subsystem clock oscillator
The subsystem clock oscillator oscillates with a crystal resonator (standard: 32.768 kHz) connected to the XT1
and XT2 pins.
External clocks can be input to the subsystem clock oscillator. In this case, input a clock signal to the XT1 pin
and its inverted signal to the XT2 pin.
Figure 5-7 shows an external circuit of the subsystem clock oscillator.

Cautions 1. When using the main system or subsystem clock oscillator, wire as follows in the area
enclosed by the broken lines in Figures 5-6 and 5-7 to avoid an adverse effect from wiring
capacitance.
• Keep the wiring length as short as possible.
• Do not cross the wiring with the other signal lines. Do not route the wiring near a signal
line through which a high fluctuating current flows.
• Always make the ground point of the oscillator capacitor the same potential as V
SS
. Do
not ground the capacitor to a ground pattern through which a high current flows.
• Do not fetch signals from the oscillator.
When using the subsystem clock oscillator, pay special attention because the subsystem
clock oscillator has low amplification to minimize power consumption.
