External Clock

To drive the device from an external clock source, XTAL1 should be driven as shown in
Figure 13. To run the device on an external clock, the CKSEL Fuses must be pro-
grammed to “0000”.

Figure 13. External Clock Drive Configuration

When this clock source is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT Fuses as
shown in Table 10.

When applying an external clock, it is required to avoid sudden changes in the applied
clock frequency to ensure stable operation of the MCU. A variation in frequency of more
than 2% from one clock cycle to the next can lead to unpredictable behavior. It is
required to ensure that the MCU is kept in Reset during such changes in the clock
frequency.

Note that the System Clock Prescaler can be used to implement run-time changes of
the internal clock frequency while still ensuring stable operation.
