5.3.1  Clock operation mode control register (CMC) 
This register is used to set the operation mode of the X1/P121/TI07/TO07/(INTP3) and 
X2/EXCLK/P122/TI05/TO05/(INTP2) pins, and to select a gain of the oscillator. 
The CMC register can be written only once by an 8-bit memory manipulation instruction after reset release. This register 
can be read by an 8-bit memory manipulation instruction. 
Reset signal generation clears this register to 00H.

Caution 1.  The CMC register can be written only once after reset release, by an 8-bit memory manipulation 
instruction. When using the CMC register with its initial value (00H), be sure to set the register to 
00H after a reset ends in order to prevent malfunction due to a program loop. Such a malfunction 
becomes unrecoverable when a value other than 00H is mistakenly written. 
Caution 2.  After reset release, set the CMC register before X1 oscillation is started as set by the clock 
operation status control register (CSC). 
Caution 3.  Be sure to set the AMPH bit to 1 if the X1 clock oscillation frequency exceeds 10 MHz. Specify the 
settings for the AMPH bits while f
IH
 is selected as f
CLK
 after a reset ends (before f
CLK
 is switched to 
f
MX
). 
Caution 4.  Switch the operation mode of the X1 pin and X2 pin only when MSTOP = 1.
