1) External capacitors at each crystal pin to ground are required. They are necessary to tune the open-loop fre-
quency of the internal PLL and to stabilize the frequency in closed-loop operation. Due to different layouts, the
accurate capacitor value should be determined with the customer PCB. The suggested values (1.5...3.3 pF) are
figures based on experience and should serve as “start value”.
To adjust the capacitor value, reset the MSP and transfer only the following I2C-protocol:
<80 10 00 20 00 60>.
Measure the frequency at pin TP_CO. Measurement at XTAL_IN/OUT pins is not possible. Change the capaci-
tor value until the frequency matches 18.432/3 = 6.144 MHz as closely as possible. The higher the capacity, the
lower the resulting clock frequency.
Note: To minimize adjustment tolerances for all MSP-generations, it is strongly recommended to use the so-
called MSP-XTAL-REF ICs (available in all packages) for the capacitor adjustment. Since all MSP-XTAL-REF ICs
do have an AUD_CL_OUT-pin with the 18.432 MHz signal, this pin should be used for the capacitor adjustment
instead of the TP_CO-pin. After the reset, no I2C-protocol should be transmitted. The AUD_CL_OUT-signal is
available at the following pins:

2) For the MSP-XTAL-REF IC, the PMQFP44 pin functionality of the D_CTR_I/O1-pin has been changed to
the Audio_Clock_Out signal. If D_CTR_I/O1 is used in the customer application, this pin must be left open for
the adjustment procedure.
