Notes: 1. These options should only be used when not operating close to the maximum frequency of the
device, and only if frequency stability at start-up is not important for the application. These
options are not suitable for crystals.
2. These options are intended for use with ceramic resonators and will ensure frequency stability
at start-up. They can also be used with crystals when not operating close to the maximum fre-
quency of the device, and if frequency stability at start-up is not important for the application.
7.5 Low-frequency Crystal Oscillator
The Low-frequency Crystal Oscillator is optimized for use with a 32.768 kHz watch crystal.
When selecting crystals, load capasitance and crystal’s Equivalent Series Resistance, ESR
must be taken into consideration. Both values are specified by the crystal vendor.
ATmega329P/3290P oscillator is optimized for very low power consumption, and thus when
selecting crystals, see Table 7-5 on page 31 for maximum ESR recommendations on 6.5 pF,
9.0 pF and 12.5 pF crystals.

Note: 1. Maximum ESR is typical value based on characterization
The Low-frequency Crystal Oscillator provides an internal load capacitance of typical 6.5 pF.
Crystals with recommended 6 pF load capacitance can be used without external capacitors as
shown in Figure 7-3 on page 32.
