Bit 1 – RUNSTDBY Run Standby

This bit forces the oscillator ON in all modes, even when unused by the system. In Standby Sleep mode this can be used to ensure immediate wake-up and not waiting for the oscillator start-up time.

When not requested by peripherals, no oscillator output is provided.

It takes four oscillator cycles to open the clock gate after a request but the oscillator analog start-up time will be removed when this bit is set.
