Systems and techniques are disclosed for configuring a circuit containing a one-pin crystal oscillator in connection with a general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pad. The GPIO pad may be connected to on-chip circuitry such as a one-pin crystal oscillator circuit and input and output buffers. The techniques disclosed herein utilize the GPIO pad such that the GPIO pad can be used as the crystal pin for a one-pin crystal oscillator circuit, or the GPIO pad can be used as a general input or general output. If the GPIO pad is operated as a general output, an on-chip signal can be driven to off-chip components, such as instrumentation, other integrated circuits, etc. If the GPIO pad is operated as a general input, external signals can be driven to on-chip components, such as clock buffers, counters, etc. |
