Product Specification (V1.0) 10.03.2006
(This specification is subject to change without further notice)
The flag (except ICIF bit) in the Interrupt Status Register (ISFR 2) is set regardless of
the status of its mask bit or the execution of ENI. The RETI instruction ends the
interrupt routine and enables the global interrupt (the execution of ENI).
5.16 Oscillator
5.16.1 Oscillator Modes
The EM78P312N can operate in two different oscillator modes, i.e., Crystal oscillator
mode and External RC oscillator mode (ERC) oscillator mode. User can select which
mode by Code Option Register. The maximum limit for operational frequencies of the
crystal/resonator under different VDDs is listed below.

5.16.2 Crystal Oscillator/Ceramic Resonators (Crystal)
EM78P312N has a clock generator. i.e. fc (high frequency) which can be driven by an
external clock signal through the OSCI pin.
In most applications, Pin OSCI and Pin OSCO can be connected with a crystal or
ceramic resonator to generate oscillation. Table 12 provides the recommended values
of C1 and C2. Since each resonator has its own attribute, user should refer to its
specification for appropriate values of C1 and C2. A serial resistor Rs may be
necessary for AT strip cut crystal.
