External 32.768 kHz Low-Power Oscillator
External 32.768 kHz Low-Power Oscillator
The BCM89359 uses a secondary low-frequency clock for Low-Power mode timing. Either the internal low-
precision LPO or an external 32.768 kHz precision oscillator is required. The internal LPO frequency range is
approximately 33 kHz (± 30%) over process, voltage, and temperature, which is adequate for some
applications. However, one trade-off caused by this wide LPO tolerance is a small current consumption increase
during power save mode that is incurred by the need to wake up earlier to avoid missing beacons.
Whenever possible, the preferred approach is to use a precision external 32.768 kHz clock which meets the
requirements listed in Table 4.
