Note 1:
Data in the “Typ” column is at 3.3V, +25°C unless otherwise stated.
2:
Represents input to the system clock prescaler. PLL dividers and postscalers must still be configured so 
that the system clock frequency does not exceed the maximum frequency shown in 
.
3:
Instruction cycle period (T
CY
) equals two times the input oscillator time base period. All specified values are 
based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type, under standard operating conditions, with 
the device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator operation 
and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at “Min.” values with an 
external clock applied to the OSCI/CLKI pin. When an external clock input is used, the “Max.” cycle time 
limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.
4:
Measurements are taken in EC mode. The CLKO signal is measured on the OSCO pin. CLKO is low for the 
Q1-Q2 period (1/2 T
CY
) and high for the Q3-Q4 period (1/2 T
CY
).
