input.
Oscillator crystal input or
external clock source input. ST
buffer when configured in RC
mode; otherwise, CMOS.
External clock source input.

Oscillator crystal or clock output.
Oscillator crystal output.
Connects to crystal or
resonator in Crystal Oscillator
mode.
In RC mode, OSC2 pin outputs
CLKO, which has 1/4 the
frequency of OSC1 and
denotes the instruction cycle
rate.
General purpose I/O pin.
