External Clock

To drive the device from an external clock source, XTAL1 should be driven as shown in
Figure 20. To run the device on an external clock, the CKSEL Fuses must be pro-
grammed to “0000”. By programming the CKOPT Fuse, the user can enable an internal
36 pF capacitor between XTAL1 and GND.

When this clock source is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT Fuses as
shown in Table 15.
