Frequency References; Crystal Interface And Clock Generation - Infineon Cypress WICED CYW43903 Manual

3. Frequency References

An external crystal is used for generating all radio frequencies and normal-operation clocking. As an alternative, an external frequency
reference can be used. In addition, a low-power oscillator (LPO) is provided for lower power mode timing.

3.1 Crystal Interface and Clock Generation

The CYW43903 can use an external crystal to provide a frequency reference. The recommended crystal oscillator configuration,
including all external components, is shown in
Note: A reference schematic is available for further details. Contact your Cypress FAE.
A fractional-N synthesizer in the CYW43903 generates the radio frequencies, clocks, and data/packet timing, enabling it to operate
using a wide selection of frequency references.
The recommended default frequency reference is a 37.4 MHz crystal. The signal characteristics for the crystal interface are listed in
Table 4.
Note: Although the fractional-N synthesizer can support alternative reference frequencies, frequencies other than the default require
support to be added in the driver, plus additional extensive system testing. Contact Cypress for further details.
