18.4 Clock Characteristics
18.4.1 Calibrated Internal RC Oscillator Accuracy
It is possible to manually calibrate the internal oscillator to be more accurate than default factory
calibration. Note that the oscillator frequency depends on temperature and voltage. Voltage and
temperature characteristics can be found in Figure 19-59 on page 154, Figure 19-60 on page
154, Figure 19-61 on page 155, Figure 19-62 on page 155, Figure 19-63 on page 156, and Fig-
ure 19-64 on page 156.
Notes: 1. Accuracy of oscillator frequency at calibration point (fixed temperature and fixed voltage).
