2.5 32 kHz crystal oscillator

The evaluation board has a 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator connected to the BMD-34 module by
default. This allows the module to use any of the three available low frequency (LF) clock
sources: an internal calibrated RC oscillator, an internal synthesized clock (derived from the
32 MHz clock), or an external crystal oscillator. The external crystal oscillator is the most
accurate and lowest power LF clock option. For applications without strict time keeping
requirements, the internal calibrated RC oscillator is often suitable. The crystal is connected
to the module through a solder select jumper, allowing either the crystal or the IO header to be
connected to the module's GPIO pins.

2.6 NFC connector

Connection to an external NFC antenna is provided through a Molex flat-flex connector, part
number 051281-0594. Capacitors "C2" and "C3" provide tuning of the NFC antenna for
resonance at 15.56 MHz.
