External Clock Input

Circuit Configuration: An external clock signal can be input as shown in the examples in figure
20.5. If the XTAL pin is left open, the stray capacitance should not exceed 10 pF. If the stray
capacitance at the XTAL pin exceeds 10 pF in configuration a, use the connection shown in
configuration b instead, and hold the external clock high in standby mode.

External Clock: The external clock frequency should be equal to the system clock frequency when
not divided by the on-chip frequency divider. Table 20.3 shows the clock timing, figure 20.6
shows the external clock input timing, and figure 20.7 shows the external clock output settling
delay timing. When the appropriate external clock is input via the EXTAL pin, its waveform is
corrected by the on-chip oscillator and duty adjustment circuit.
When the appropriate external clock is input via the EXTAL pin, its waveform is corrected by the
on-chip oscillator and duty adjustment circuit. The resulting stable clock is output to external
devices after the external clock settling time (t
must remain reset with the reset signal low during t
