5.4.3 When subsystem clock is not used
If it is not necessary to use the subsystem clock
Note
for low power consumption operations and real-time counter, or
if not using the subsystem clock as an I/O port, set the XT1 and XT2 pins to I/O mode (OSCSELS = 0) and connect
them as follows.
Note
The 78K0/KB2-A is not provided with a subsystem clock.
Input (PM123/PM124 = 1):
Independently connect to V
DD
or V
SS
via a resistor.
Output (PM123/PM124 = 0): Leave open.
Remark
OSCSELS:
Bit 4 of clock operation mode select register (OSCCTL)
PM123, PM124: Bits 3 and 4 of port mode register 12 (PM12)
5.4.4 Internal high-speed oscillator
The internal high-speed oscillator is incorporated in the 78K0/Kx2-A microcontrollers. Oscillation can be controlled
by the internal oscillation mode register (RCM).
After a reset release, the internal high-speed oscillator automatically starts oscillation (8 MHz (TYP.)).
5.4.5 Internal low-speed oscillator
The internal low-speed oscillator is incorporated in the 78K0/Kx2-A microcontrollers.
The internal low-speed oscillation clock is only used as the watchdog timer and the clock of 8-bit timer H1. The
internal low-speed oscillation clock cannot be used as the CPU clock.
“Can be stopped by software” or “Cannot be stopped” can be selected by the option byte. When “Can be stopped
by software” is set, oscillation can be controlled by the internal oscillation mode register (RCM).
After a reset release, the internal low-speed oscillator automatically starts oscillation, and the watchdog timer is
driven (240 kHz (TYP.)) if the watchdog timer operation is enabled using the option byte.
5.4.6 Prescaler
The prescaler generates the CPU clock by dividing the main system clock when the main system clock is selected
as the clock to be supplied to the CPU.
