An external crystal is preferred to the internal RC oscillator when the application needs

  • A.the fewest external components
  • B.accurate timing, for instance for a serial baud rate
  • C.the lowest possible power consumption from the clock source itself
  • D.the shortest possible start-up time after reset

Answer: B

An internal RC oscillator is typically within a per cent or two over temperature, which is enough for a delay loop and not enough for a UART at high speed. The crystal costs two pins, two capacitors, some board area and a slower start-up.
