The operating mode is selected by the fuses CKSEL3...1 as shown in Table 9-5.
Notes: 1. If the cryatal frequency exceeds the specification of the device (depends on V
CC
), the CKDIV8 Fuse can be pro-
grammed in order to divide the internal frequency by 8. It must be ensured that the resulting divided clock meets
the frequency specification of the device.
Figure 9-3. Crystal Oscillator Connections
Notes: 1. These options should only be used when not operating close to the maximum frequency of the device, and only if
frequency stability at start-up is not important for the application. These options are not suitable for crystals.
2. These options are intended for use with ceramic resonators and will ensure frequency stability at start-up. They can
also be used with crystals when not operating close to the maximum frequency of the device, and if frequency sta-
bility at start-up is not important for the application.
