will increase the frequency of the internal Oscillator. Writing $FF to the register gives the
highest available frequency. The calibrated Oscillator is used to time EEPROM and
Flash access. If EEPROM or Flash is written, do not calibrate to more than 10% above
the nominal frequency. Otherwise, the EEPROM or Flash write may fail. Note that the
Oscillator is intended for calibration to 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, or 8.0 MHz. Tuning to other values is
not guaranteed, as indicated in Table 14.
Table 14. Internal RC Oscillator Frequency Range.
To drive the device from an external clock source, XTAL1 should be driven as shown in
Figure 21. To run the device on an external clock, the CKSEL Fuses must be pro-
grammed to “0000”. By programming the CKOPT Fuse, the user can enable an internal
36 pF capacitor between XTAL1 and GND.

When this clock source is selected, start-up times are determined by the SUT Fuses as
shown in Table 15.
Table 15. Start-up Times for the External Clock Selection
When applying an external clock, it is required to avoid sudden changes in the applied
clock frequency to ensure stable operation of the MCU. A variation in frequency of more
than 2% from one clock cycle to the next can lead to unpredictable behavior. It is
required to ensure that the MCU is kept in Reset during such changes in the clock
frequency.
