The XTAL pin is normally left unterminated when an external CMOS compatible clock
is connected to the EXTAL pin. However, a 10 k
Ω
to 100 k
Ω
load resistor connected
from the XTAL output to ground can be used to reduce RFI noise emission.
The XTAL output is normally used to drive a crystal. The XTAL output can be buffered
with a high-impedance buffer, or it can be used to drive the EXTAL input of another
M68HC11 device. Refer to
.
In all cases, use caution when designing circuitry associated with the oscillator pins.
Load capacitances shown in the oscillator circuits include all stray layout capacitanc-
es. Refer to
