Oscillator Characteristics

XTAL1 and XTAL2 are the input and output, respectively,

of an inverting amplifier which can be configured for use as

an on-chip oscillator, as shown in Figure 1. Either a quartz

crystal or ceramic resonator may be used. To drive the

device from an external clock source, XTAL2 should be left

unconnected while XTAL1 is driven as shown in Figure 2.

There are no requirements on the duty cycle of the external

clock signal, since the input to the internal clocking circuitry

is through a divide-by-two flip-flop, but minimum and maxi-

mum voltage high and low time specifications must be

observed

Idle Mode

In idle mode, the CPU puts itself to sleep while all the on-

chip peripherals remain active. The mode is invoked by

software. The content of the on-chip RAM and all the spe-

cial functions registers remain unchanged during this

mode. The idle mode can be terminated by any enabled

interrupt or by a hardware reset.

It should be noted that when idle is terminated by a hard-

ware reset, the device normally resumes program execu-

tion, from where it left off, up to two machine cycles before

the internal reset algorithm takes control. On-chip hardware

inhibits access to internal RAM in this event, but access to

the port pins is not inhibited. To eliminate the possibility of

an unexpected write to a port pin when Idle is terminated by

reset, the instruction following the one that invokes Idle

should not be one that writes to a port pin or to external

memory.

Power Down Mode

In the power down mode the oscillator is stopped, and the

instruction that invokes power down is the last instruction

executed. The on-chip RAM and Special Function Regis-

ters retain their values until the power down mode is termi-

nated. The only exit from power down is a hardware reset.

Reset redefines the SFRs but does not change the on-chip

restored to its normal operating level and must be held

active long enough to allow the oscillator to restart and sta-

bilize.
