2.4 Clocks

The SAM9X60 crystal oscillator supports a wider range of external crystals. Refer to the SAM9X60 data sheet for detailed electrical recommendations.

Note: The engineering sample ROM code has crystal detection limitations, so only a 24 MHz crystal must be used if a Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) is programmed via USB.
