3.5 External Clock Operation

The 56F803 system clock can be derived from an external crystal or an external system clock signal. To

generate a reference frequency using the internal oscillator, a reference crystal must be connected between

the EXTAL and XTAL pins.

3.5.1

Crystal Oscillator

The internal oscillator is also designed to interface with a parallel-resonant crystal resonator in the

frequency range specified for the external crystal in Table 3-9. In Figure 3-7 a recommended crystal

oscillator circuit is shown. Follow the crystal supplier’s recommendations when selecting a crystal,

because crystal parameters determine the component values required to provide maximum stability and

reliable start-up. The crystal and associated components should be mounted as close as possible to the

EXTAL and XTAL pins to minimize output distortion and start-up stabilization time. The internal

56F80x oscillator circuitry is designed to have no external load capacitors present. As shown in

Figure 3-8 no external load capacitors should be used.

The 56F80x components internally are modeled as a parallel resonant oscillator circuit to provide a

capacitive load on each of the oscillator pins (XTAL and EXTAL) of 10pF to 13pF over temperature and

process variations. Using a typical value of internal capacitance on these pins of 12pF and a value of 3pF

as a typical circuit board trace capacitance the parallel load capacitance presented to the crystal is 9pF as

determined by the following equation:

This is the value load capacitance that should be used when selecting a crystal and determining the actual

frequency of operation of the crystal oscillator circuit.
