Clock Source Modes

Clock Source modes can be classified as external or

internal.

• External Clock modes rely on external circuitry for

the clock source. Examples are: Oscillator mod-

ules (EC mode), quartz crystal resonators or

ceramic resonators (LP, XT and HS modes) and

Resistor-Capacitor (RC) mode circuits.

• Internal clock sources are contained internally

within the Oscillator module. The Oscillator

module has two selectable clock frequencies:

4 MHz and 8 MHz

The system clock can be selected between external or

internal clock sources via the FOSC<2:0> bits of the

Configuration Word register.

External Clock Modes

3.3.1

OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER (OST)

If the Oscillator module is configured for LP, XT or HS

modes, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) counts

1024 oscillations from OSC1. This occurs following a

Power-on Reset (POR) and when the Power-up Timer

(PWRT) has expired (if configured), or a wake-up from

Sleep. During this time, the program counter does not

increment and program execution is suspended. The

OST ensures that the oscillator circuit, using a quartz

crystal resonator or ceramic resonator, has started and

is providing a stable system clock to the Oscillator

module. When switching between clock sources, a

delay is required to allow the new clock to stabilize.

These oscillator delays are shown in Table 3-1.

3.3.2

EC MODE

The External Clock (EC) mode allows an externally

generated logic level as the system clock source. When

operating in this mode, an external clock source is

connected to the OSC1 input and the OSC2 is available

for general purpose I/O. Figure 3-2 shows the pin

connections for EC mode.

The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is disabled when

EC mode is selected. Therefore, there is no delay in

operation after a Power-on Reset (POR) or wake-up

from Sleep. Because the PICmicro® MCU design is

fully static, stopping the external clock input will have

the effect of halting the device while leaving all data

intact. Upon restarting the external clock, the device

will resume operation as if no time had elapsed.
