1.13 Oscillator Configuration
The XCLKS is an input signal which controls whether a crystal in combination with the internal loop
controlled (low power) Pierce oscillator is used or whether full swing Pierce oscillator/external clock
circuitry is used. For this device
XCLKS is mapped to PE7.
The XCLKS signal selects the oscillator configuration during reset low phase while a clock quality check
is ongoing. This is the case for:
• Power on reset or low-voltage reset
• Clock monitor reset
• Any reset while in self-clock mode or full stop mode
The selected oscillator configuration is frozen with the rising edge of the RESET pin in any of these above
described reset cases.
