Notes: 1. These options should only be used when not operating close to the maximum frequency of the
device, and only if frequency stability at start-up is not important for the application. These
options are not suitable for crystals.
2. These options are intended for use with ceramic resonators and will ensure frequency stability
at start-up. They can also be used with crystals when not operating close to the maximum fre-
quency of the device, and if frequency stability at start-up is not important for the application.
6.5 Low-frequency Crystal Oscillator
To use a 32.768 kHz watch crystal as the clock source for the device, the low-frequency crystal
oscillator must be selected by setting CKSEL fuses to ‘0110’. The crystal should be connected
as shown in Figure 6-3. Refer to the 32 kHz Crystal Oscillator Application Note for details on
oscillator operation and how to choose appropriate values for C1 and C2.
When this oscillator is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT fuses as shown in
Table 6-5.
Notes: 1. These options should only be used if frequency stability at start-up is not important for the
application.
