Investigating further I have varified the it is seeing a clock of
exactly 200Khz. Just as an experiment I freeze sprayed the chip and it
stopped seeing the 200khz clock.
It looks like it is some kind of switching noise it was picking up.

�Exactly 2 minutes, or perhaps 1 minute and 40 seconds?

Hi All ,
I am implementing RTC code on an AVR Atmega2560 I have a 32Khz clock
crystal to TSOSC1 which is used by timer2 in async mode. I have
configured the clock divide to 8 so the clock to the timer is 32768/8
= 4096. It is a 8bit so a interrupt should be generated every 16hz
(4096/256).
So on 16 ticks make one second. If I add up second to make 5 minutes
and light an LED on this event , it is happening within 2minutes. Why
is this. I have checked the crystal is oscillation at 32Khz.
Has any on encountered this?
