6.2 MULTI-OSCILLATOR (MO)

The main clock of the ST7 can be generated by

four different source types coming from the multi-

oscillator block:

■ an external source

■ 5 crystal or ceramic resonator oscillators

■ an internal high frequency RC oscillator

Each oscillator is optimized for a given frequency

range in terms of consumption and is selectable

through the option byte. The associated hardware

configurations are shown in Table 3. Refer to the

electrical characteristics section for more details.

Caution: The OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins must not

be left unconnected. For the purposes of Failure

Mode and Effects Analysis, it should be noted that

if the OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins are left unconnect-

ed, the ST7 main oscillator may start and, in this

configuration, could generate an fOSC clock fre-

quency in excess of the allowed maximum

(>16MHz.), putting the ST7 in an unsafe/unde-

fined state. The product behaviour must therefore

be considered undefined when the OSC pins are

left unconnected.

External Clock Source

In this external clock mode, a clock signal (square,

sinus or triangle) with ~50% duty cycle has to drive

the OSC1 pin while the OSC2 pin is tied to ground.

Crystal/Ceramic Oscillators

This family of oscillators has the advantage of pro-

ducing a very accurate rate on the main clock of

the ST7. The selection within a list of 5 oscillators

with different frequency ranges has to be done by

option byte in order to reduce consumption (refer

to Section 15.1 on page 162 for more details on

the frequency ranges). In this mode of the multi-

oscillator, the resonator and the load capacitors

have to be placed as close as possible to the oscil-

lator pins in order to minimize output distortion and

start-up stabilization time. The loading capaci-

tance values must be adjusted according to the

selected oscillator.

These oscillators are not stopped during the

RESET phase to avoid losing time in the oscillator

start-up phase.

Internal RC Oscillator

This oscillator allows a low cost solution for the

main clock of the ST7 using only an internal resis-

tor and capacitor. Internal RC oscillator mode has

the drawback of a lower frequency accuracy and

should not be used in applications that require ac-

curate timing.

In this mode, the two oscillator pins have to be tied

to ground.
