BCM4319 Preliminary Data Sheet
Frequency References
Section 3: Frequency References
The BCM4319 uses the following frequency references for normal and low-power operational modes:
•
An external crystal or external frequency reference driven by a TCXO signal is used for generating all radio
frequencies and normal operation clocking.
•
An internal 32.768 kHz sleep clock is provided for use by the PMU during low power states.
Crystal Interface and Clock Generation
The BCM4319 uses a fractional-N synthesizer to generate the radio frequencies, clocks, and data/packet timing.
This enables it to operate using numerous frequency references derived from an external source such as a
TCXO or a crystal connected directly to the BCM4319. The default frequency reference is a 30 MHz, 10 ppm
crystal or TCXO. The requirements and characteristics for the crystal circuit and external frequency reference
are listed in Table 1.
