III PERIPHERAL BLOCK: LOW-SPEED (OSC1) OSCILLATION CIRCUIT

Controlling Oscillation

The low-speed (OSC1) oscillation circuit can be turned on or off using SOSC1 (D0) / Power control register (0x40180).

The oscillation circuit is turned off by writing "0" to SOSC1 and turned back on again by writing "1". SOSC1 is set to "1" at initial reset, so the oscillation circuit is turned on.

Notes: • When the low-speed (OSC1) oscillation circuit is used as the clock source for the CPU operating clock, it cannot be turned off. In this case, writing "0" to SOSC1 is ignored. Note also that writing to SOSC1 is allowed only when the power-control register protection flag is set to "0b10010110".

•Immediately after the oscillation circuit is turned on, a certain period of time is required for oscillation to stabilize (3 sec max.). To prevent the device from operating erratically, do not use the clock until its oscillation has stabilized.

The low-speed (OSC1) oscillation circuit does not stop when the CPU is set in SLEEP mode.

Switching Over the CPU Operating Clock

After an initial reset, the CPU starts operating using the OSC3 clock.

If operation of the peripheral circuits (programmable timers, serial interface, A/D converter, ports,and other circuits) is not required or if their required processing can be performed at a lower speed, and if the CPU can also be operated at a lower speed, the CPU operating clock can be switched to the OSC1 clock, thereby reducing current consumption. Use CLKCHG (D2) / Power control register (0x40180) to switch over the operating clock.

Procedure for switching over from the OSC3 clock to the OSC1 clock

1.Turn on the low-speed (OSC1) oscillation circuit (by writing "1" to SOSC1).

2.Wait until the OSC1 oscillation stabilizes (three seconds or more).

3.Change the CPU operating clock (by writing "0" to CLKCHG).

4.Turn off the high-speed (OSC3) oscillation circuit (by writing "0" to SOSC3).

∗Steps 1 and 2 are required only when the low-speed (OSC1) oscillation circuit is inactive.

Notes: • Use separate instructions to switch from OSC3 to OSC1 and turn the OSC3 oscillation off. If these operations are processed simultaneously using one instruction, the CPU may operate erratically.

•To prevent incorrect operation of peripheral circuits such as the programmable timers, A/D converter, and serial interface, before stopping the OSC3 oscillator, either stop these circuits or set the prescaler clock to be OSC1. Note that to prevent incorrect operation, the prescaler clock must be set before the CPU clock is changed.

Procedure for switching over from the OSC1 clock to the OSC3 clock

1.Turn on the high-speed (OSC3) oscillation circuit (by writing "1" to SOSC3).

2.Wait until the OSC3 oscillation stabilizes (10 ms or more for a 3.3-V crystal resonator).

3.Switch over the CPU operating clock (by writing "1" to CLKCHG).

Note: The operating clock switchover by CLKCHG is effective only when both oscillation circuits are on and the power-control register protection flag is set to "0b10010110".
