22.3.2. External RC Example
If an RC network is used as an external oscillator source for the MCU, the circuit should be configured as
shown in Figure 22.1, Option 2. The capacitor should be no greater than 100 pF; however for very small
capacitors, the total capacitance may be dominated by parasitic capacitance in the PCB layout. To deter-
mine the required External Oscillator Frequency Control value (XFCN) in the OSCXCN Register, first
select the RC network value to produce the desired frequency of oscillation, according to Equation 22.1,
where f = the frequency of oscillation in MHz, C = the capacitor value in pF, and R = the pull-up resistor
value in k.
Equation 22.1. RC Mode Oscillator Frequency
f = 1.23 103 R C
For example: If the frequency desired is 100 kHz, let R = 246 k and C = 50 pF:

f = 1.23( 10 ) / RC = 1.23 ( 10 ) / [ 246 x 50 ] = 0.1 MHz = 100 kHz
Referring to the table in SFR Definition 22.4, the required XFCN setting is 010b.
