Clock Out

Can I use the OSC1 and OSC2 pins to provide a clock to external devices when an SX chip is set to generate an internal clock cycle, or does this come out of the Real Time Clock Counter pin?

I wonder if this wire is hot...

    The RTCC is an input only and is a seperate subsystem than the oscillator. Generally it is not advisable to try to drive more than one device with a passive oscillator (crystal, resonator, etc). It is best to use an active oscillator or clock buffer/driver chip to drive multiple devices.
