8.1 Overview
The H8/532 chip has a built-in clock pulse generator (CPG) consisting of an oscillator circuit, a
system (ø) clock divider, an E clock divider, and a group of prescalers. The prescalers generate
clock signals for the on-chip supporting modules.

8.2 Oscillator Circuit
If an external crystal is connected across the EXTAL and XTAL pins, the on-chip oscillator circuit
generates a clock signal for the system clock divider. Alternatively, an external clock signal can
be applied to the EXTAL pin.
Connecting an External Crystal
(1) Circuit Configuration: An external crystal can be connected as in the example in figure 8-2.
An AT-cut parallel resonating crystal should be used.
