Notes:
1. The CKSEL fuses control only the start-up time. The oscillator is the same for all selections. On power-up, the real-time part
of the start-up time is increased with typ. 0.6ms.
2. Or external power-on reset.
3. When BOD is enabled, there will be a real-time part = 50 µs (typ.)
Table 4 shows the start-up times from reset. From sleep, only the clock counting part of the start-up time is used. The
watchdog oscillator is used for timing the real-time part of the start-up time. The number WDT oscillator cycles used for
each time-out is shown in Table 5.

Note: The bod-level fuse can be used to select start-up times even if the Brown-out detection is disabled (by leaving the BODEN fuse
unprogrammed).
The frequency of the watchdog oscillator is voltage dependent as shown in the Electrical Characteristics section. The
device is shipped with CKSEL = 010.
