The primary oscillator on explorer 16 is connected between two pins of the Microcontroller. Mention the name/names and the number of those pin.
The primary oscillator is connected between pins OSC1 (pin 63) and OSC2 (pin 64) of the Microcontroller.
what is the other rows of the oscillator?
The other components of the oscillator on the Explorer 16 board include capacitors, a resonator, and possibly other supporting components. These components help stabilize and control the frequency of the oscillator.
The other rows of the oscillator on the Explorer 16 are:
- Power supply for the oscillator circuit
- Load capacitors connected to pins OSC1 and OSC2
- Ground connection for the oscillator circuit.
The oscillator on the Explorer 16 development board consists of a primary oscillator connected between pins OSC1 and OSC2, as mentioned earlier. In addition to the primary oscillator, there are a few other components and configurations related to the oscillator on the board. These include:
1. Oscillator Configuration Pins:
- Pins XOSC1 and XOSC2: These pins are provided for the option of connecting an external clock source or crystal oscillator to the microcontroller. These pins are not directly connected to the primary oscillator.
2. System Clock Configuration:
- Pins OSCSEL0 and OSCSEL1: These pins are used to select the system clock source and its frequency. They determine whether the microcontroller operates using the primary oscillator, an external clock source, or an internal clock source. These pins are not directly connected to the primary oscillator but are related to the oscillator configuration.
It's worth noting that the specific configuration and additional components related to the oscillator may vary depending on the microcontroller model and the development board being used. The information provided is specific to the Explorer 16 development board.
