Default Clock Source
Switching Time
The device is shipped with CKSEL = “0010”, SUT = “10”, and CKDIV8 programmed. The default
clock source setting is therefore the Internal Oscillator running at 8.0 MHz with longest start-up
time and an initial system clock prescaling of 8, resulting in 1.0 MHz system clock. This default
setting ensures that all users can make their desired clock source setting using an in-system or
high-voltage programmer.
At low voltages (below 2.7V), it should be noted that unprogramming the CKDIV8 fuse may
result in overclocking. At low voltages the devices are rated for maximum 4 MHz operation (see

and clk
When switching between prescaler settings, the System Clock Prescaler ensures that no
glitches occur in the clock system and that no intermediate frequency is higher than neither the
clock frequency corresponding to the previous setting, nor the clock frequency corresponding to
the new setting.
The ripple counter that implements the prescaler runs at the frequency of the undivided clock,
which may be faster than the CPU’s clock frequency. Hence, it is not possible to determine the
state of the prescaler – even if it were readable, and the exact time it takes to switch from one
clock division to another cannot be exactly predicted.
From the time the CLKPS values are written, it takes between T1 + T2 and T1 + 2*T2 before the
new clock frequency is active. In this interval, 2 active clock edges are produced. Here, T1 is the
previous clock period, and T2 is the period corresponding to the new prescaler setting.
The device can output the system clock on the CKOUT pin. To enable the output, the CKOUT
fuse has to be programmed. This mode is suitable when the chip clock is used to drive other cir-
cuits on the system. Note that the clock will not be output during reset and that the normal
operation of the I/O pin will be overridden when the fuse is programmed. Any clock source,
including the internal RC Oscillator, can be selected when the clock is output on CKOUT. If the
System Clock Prescaler is used, it is the divided system clock that is output.
