a. (Crystal) Use WRF_XTAL_IN and WRF_XTAL_OUT.
b. See “External Frequency Reference” on page 27 for alternative connection methods.
c. For a clock reference other than 37.4 MHz, 20 × log10(f/37.4) dB should be added to the limits, where f = the
reference clock frequency in MHz.
d. The frequency step size is approximately 80 Hz.
e. It is the responsibility of the equipment designer to select oscillator components that comply with these
specifications.
f. Assumes that external clock has a flat phase-noise response above 100 kHz.
