2.8 Oscillation circuit
The 4551 Group has an internal oscillation circuit to produce the clock required for microcomputer operation.
The clock signal f(XIN) is obtained by connecting a ceramic resonator to XIN pin and XOUT pin. The clock
signal f(XCIN) is obtained by connecting a quartz-crystal oscillator to X CIN pin and XCOUT pin.
2.8.1 Oscillation circuit
(1)
f(XIN) clock generating circuit
The clock signal f(XIN) is obtained by connecting a ceramic resonator externally.
Connect this external circuit to pins XIN and XOUT at the shortest distance. A feed-back resistor is
built-in between XIN pin and XOUT pin.
Figure 2.8.1 shows an example of an oscillation circuit connecting a ceramic resonator externally.
Keep the maximum value of oscillation frequency within the range listed Table 2.8.1.

f(XCIN) clock generating circuit
The clock signal f(XCIN) is obtained by connecting a quartz-crystal externally.
Connect this external circuit to pins XCIN and XCOUT at the shortest distance. A feed-back resistor
is built-in between XCIN pin and XCOUT pin.
Figure 2.8.2 shows an example of an oscillation circuit connecting a quartz-crystal externally.

Note: Externally connect a
damping resistor Rd de-
pending on the oscilla-
tion frequency. (A feed-
back resistor is built-in.)
Use
the
resonator
manufacturer’s recom-
mended value because
constants such as ca-
pacitance depend on the
resonator.

oscillator manufacturer’s
recommended value be-
cause constants such as
capacitance depend on
the oscillator.
