B.2 32MHz Oscillator
The JN5148 contains the necessary on-chip components to build a 32 MHz reference oscillator with the addition of
an external crystal resonator, two tuning capacitors. The schematic of these components are shown in Figure 58.
The two capacitors, C1 and C2, will typically be 15pF ±5% and use a COG dielectric. For a detailed specification of
the crystal required and factors affecting C1 and C2 see Appendix B.1. As with all crystal oscillators the PCB layout is
especially important, both to keep parasitic capacitors to a minimum and to reduce the possibility of PCB noise being
coupled into the oscillator.

The clock generated by this oscillator provides the reference for most of the JN5148 subsystems, including the
transceiver, processor, memory and digital and analogue peripherals.
