When this oscillator is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT fuses as
shown in Table 6.
Note: 1. These options should only be used if frequency stability at start-up is not important
for the application.
External RC Oscillator For timing insensitive applications, the external RC configuration shown in Figure 13
can be used. The frequency is roughly estimated by the equation f = 1/(3RC). C should
be at least 22 pF. By programming the CKOPT fuse, the user can enable an internal
36 pF capacitor between XTAL1 and GND, thereby removing the need for an external
capacitor. For more information on oscillator operation and details on how to choose R
and C, refer to the External RC Oscillator application note.
Figure 13. External RC Configuration
The oscillator can operate in four different modes, each optimized for a specific fre-
quency range. The operating mode is selected by the fuses CKSEL3..0 as shown in
Table 7.
When this oscillator is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT fuses as
shown in Table 8.
