18.2 Oscillator
Clock pulses can be supplied by connecting a crystal resonator, or by input of an external clock.
18.2.1 Connecting
Crystal
Resonator
A crystal resonator can be connected as shown in the example in figure 18.2. Select the damping
resistance R
d
according to table 18.1. An AT-cut parallel-resonance type should be used.
When the clock is provided by connecting a crystal resonator, a crystal resonator having a
frequency of 4 to 9 MHz should be connected.
