ST90158 - RESET AND CLOCK CONTROL UNIT (RCCU)
6.5 OSCILLATOR CHARACTERISTICS
The on-chip oscillator circuit uses an inverting gate
circuit with tri-state output.
Notes
: It is recommended to place the quartz or
crystal as close as possible to the ST9 to reduce
the parasitic capacitance. At low temperature,
frost and humidity might prevent a correct start-up
of the oscillator.
OSCOUT must not be used to drive external cir-
cuits.
When the oscillator is stopped, OSCOUT goes
high impedance.
In Halt mode, set by means of the
HALT
instruc-
tion, the parallel resistor, R, is disconnected and
the oscillator is disabled, forcing the internal clock,
CLOCK1, to a high level, and OSCOUT to a high
impedance state.
To exit the
HALT
condition and restart the oscilla-
tor, an external RESET pulse is required, having a
a minimum duration of 12ms, as illustrated in
Fig-
ure 41
It should be noted that, if the Watchdog function is
enabled, a
HALT
instruction will not disable the os-
cillator. This to avoid stopping the Watchdog if a
HALT
code is executed in error. When this occurs,
the CPU will be reset when the Watchdog times
out or when an external reset is applied.
