21.2.2
External Clock Input Method
Figure 21.4 shows a typical method of connecting an external clock signal. To leave the XTAL pin
open, parasitic capacitance should be 10 pF or less.
To input an inverted clock to the XTAL pin, the external clock should be set to high in standby
mode. External clock input conditions are shown in table 21.3.
