Oscillator Configurations
9.2.1
OSCILLATOR TYPES
The MCV18E can be operated in four different
oscillator
modes.
The
user
can
program
two
Configuration bits (FOSC1 and FOSC0) to select one
of these four modes:
LP – Low-power Crystal
XT – Crystal/Resonator
HS – High-speed Crystal/Resonator
RC – Resistor/Capacitor
9.2.2
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR/CERAMIC
RESONATORS
In XT, LP or HS modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator
is connected to the OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT
oscillator design requires the use of a parallel cut crys-
tal. Use of a series cut crystal may give a frequency out
of the crystal manufacturers specifications. When in
XT, LP or HS modes, the device can have an external

Note 1:
These values are for design guidance
only. See notes at bottom of page.
Note 1: Higher capacitance increases the stability
of the oscillator, but also increases the
start-up time.
2: Since each resonator/crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult
the resonator/crystal manufacturer for
appropriate
values
of
external
components.
3: RS may be required to avoid overdriving
crystals with low drive level specification.
4: When using an external clock for the
OSC1 input, loading of the OSC2 pin
must be kept to a minimum by leaving the
OSC2 pin unconnected.
