7. Application Information
7.1. Crystal Resonator Specification
Table 32 shows the crystal resonator specification for the crystal reference oscillator circuit of the SX1232. This
specification covers the full range of operation of the SX1232 and is employed in the reference design.

Notes - the initial frequency tolerance, temperature stability and ageing performance should be chosen in accordance
with the target operating temperature range and the receiver bandwidth selected.
- the loading capacitance should be applied externally, and adapted to the actual Cload specification of the XTAL.
7.2. Reset of the Chip
A power-on reset of the SX1232 is triggered at power up. Additionally, a manual reset can be issued by controlling pin 6.
7.2.1. POR
If the application requires the disconnection of VDD from the SX1232, despite of the extremely low Sleep Mode current, the
user should wait for 10 ms from of the end of the POR cycle before commencing communications over the SPI bus. Pin 6
(Reset) should be left floating during the POR sequence.
