4xPLL
The oscillator module contains a 4xPLL that can be
used with both external and internal clock sources to
provide a system clock source. The input frequency for
the 4xPLL must fall within specifications. See the PLL
Clock Timing Specifications in 
The 4xPLL may be enabled for use by one of two
methods:
1.
Program the PLLEN bit in Configuration Word 2
to a ‘1’.
2.
Write the SPLLEN bit in the OSCCON register to
a ‘1’. If the PLLEN bit in Configuration Word 2 is
programmed to a ‘1’, then the value of SPLLEN
is ignored.
5.2.1.5
TIMER1 Oscillator
The Timer1 Oscillator is a separate crystal oscillator
that is associated with the Timer1 peripheral. It is
optimized for timekeeping operations with a 32.768
kHz crystal connected between the T1OSO and T1OSI
device pins.
The Timer1 Oscillator can be used as an alternate
system clock source and can be selected during
run-time using clock switching. Refer to 
 for more information.

External RC Mode
The external Resistor-Capacitor (RC) modes support
the use of an external RC circuit. This allows the
designer maximum flexibility in frequency choice while
keeping costs to a minimum when clock accuracy is not
required. 
The RC circuit connects to OSC1. OSC2/CLKOUT is
available for general purpose I/O or CLKOUT. The
function of the OSC2/CLKOUT pin is determined by the
state of the CLKOUTEN bit in Configuration Word 1.

Note 1: Quartz crystal characteristics vary
according to type, package and
manufacturer. The user should consult the
manufacturer data sheets for specifications
and recommended application.
2: Always verify oscillator performance over
the V

 and temperature range that is
expected for the application.
