4.2.2 Crystals

The SAM4L8 Xplained Pro kit contains two crystals that can be used as clock sources for the SAM4L8 device. Each crystal has a cut-strap next to it that can be used to measure the oscillator safety factor. This is done by cutting the strap and adding a resistor across the strap. More information about oscillator allowance and safety factor can be found in application note AVR4100.
