Notes:
1. These values are given only as a typical example. Please refer to the crystal datasheet to determine the
capacitor value for the crystal used or refer to the application notes “
AVR1003: Using the XMEGA Clock

”.
2.
Load capacitors should be placed close to the crystal, GND and device oscillator pins.
