Crystals

The SAM4S Xplained Pro kit contains two crystals that can be used as clock sources for the SAM4S device. Each crystal has a cut-strap next to it that can be used to measure the oscillator safety factor. This is done by cutting the strap and adding a resistor across the strap. More information about oscillator allowance and safety factor can be found in appnote AVR4100.
