† - Data in “Typ” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only and are not tested.

Notes:
  1. 1.Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period. All specified values are based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating conditions with the device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator operation and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at “min” values with an external clock applied to CLKIN pin. When an external clock input is used, the “max” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.
  2. 2.The system clock frequency (FOSC) is selected by the “main clock switch controls” as described in the “OSC - Oscillator Module” chapter.
  3. 3.The system clock frequency (FOSC) must meet the voltage requirements defined in the “Standard Operating Conditions” section.
