The capacitance (Ce + Ci) needed at each XTAL/TOSC pin can be calculated by using:
where:
Ce - is optional external capacitors as described in Figure 10-3 on page 46.
Ci - is the pin capacitance in Table 10-7 on page 45.
CL - is the load capacitance for a 32.768kHz crystal specified by the crystal vendor.
C
S
- is the total stray capacitance for one XTAL/TOSC pin.
Crystals specifying load capacitance (CL) higher than the ones given in the Table 10-7 on page
45, require external capacitors applied as described in Figure 10-3 on page 46.
Figure 10-3. Crystal Oscillator Connections
To find suitable load capacitance for a 32.768kHz crysal, please consult the crystal datasheet.
When this oscillator is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT Fuses and CKSEL0
as shown in Table 10-8.
Note: 1. These options should only be used if frequency stability at start-up is not important for the
application.
