Oscillator Configurations
12.2.1
OSCILLATOR TYPES
The PIC16C717/770/771 can be operated in eight dif-
ferent Oscillator modes. The user can program three
configuration bits (FOSC<2:0>) to select one of these
eight modes:
LP
Low Power Crystal
XT
Crystal/Resonator
HS
High Speed Crystal/Resonator
ER
External Resistor (with and without
CLKOUT)
INTRC
Internal 4 MHz (with and without
CLKOUT)
EC
External Clock
12.2.2
LP, XT AND HS MODES
In LP, XT or HS modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator
is connected to the OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT
pins
to
establish
oscillation
The
PIC16C717/770/771 oscillator design requires the use
of a parallel cut crystal. Use of a series cut crystal may
give a frequency out of the crystal manufacturers spec-
ifications.

EC MODE
In applications where the clock source is external, the
PIC16C717/770/771 should be programmed to select
the EC (External Clock) mode. In this mode, the RA6/
OSC2/CLKOUT pin is available as an I/O pin. See

Note 1: Since each resonator/crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult the
resonator/crystal manufacturer for appropri-
ate values of external components.
2: Higher capacitance increases the stability of
oscillator but also increases the start-up
time.
