External Clock Input
Circuit Configuration: An external clock signal can be input as shown in the examples in figure
18.5. 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, use configuration b instead and hold the clock high in
standby mode.
