8.6.3 OSCCON3

Oscillator Control Register 3
Note:
  1. If CSWHOLD = 0, the user may not see this bit set because the bit is set for less than one instruction cycle.
Name: OSCCON3
Offset: 0x88F

Bit 76543210 
 CSWHOLDSOSCPWR ORDYNOSCR    
Access R/W/HCR/WRORO 
Reset 0000 

Bit 7 – CSWHOLD Clock Switch Hold bit

ValueDescription
1 Clock switch will hold (with interrupt) when the oscillator selected by NOSC is ready
0 Clock switch may proceed when the oscillator selected by NOSC is ready; when NOSCR becomes ‘1’, the switch will occur

Bit 6 – SOSCPWR Secondary Oscillator Power Mode Select bit

ValueDescription
1 Secondary oscillator operating in High Power mode
0 Secondary oscillator operating in Low Power mode

Bit 4 – ORDY Oscillator Ready bit (read-only)

ValueDescription
1 OSCCON1 = OSCCON2; the current system clock is the clock specified by NOSC
0 A clock switch is in progress

Bit 3 – NOSCR  New Oscillator is Ready bit (read-only)(1)

ValueDescription
1 A clock switch is in progress and the oscillator selected by NOSC indicates a Ready condition
0 A clock switch is not in progress, or the NOSC-selected oscillator is not yet ready
If CSWHOLD = 0, the user may not see this bit set because the bit is set for less than one instruction cycle.
