8 Electrical specifications
This chapter contains electrical specifications for device interfaces and peripherals including radio
parameters and current consumption.
The test levels referenced are defined in Table 21 .
Table 21 Test level definitions
8.1 Clock sources
8.1.1 16/32 MHz crystal startup
Figure 9 Current drawn at oscillator startup
Figure 9 shows the current drawn by the crystal oscillator (XOSC) at startup. The t
START,XOSC
period is the
time needed for the oscillator to start clocking. The length of t
START,XOSC
is dependent on the crystal
specifications.
The period following t
START,XOSC
to the end of t
START,X16M
/t
START,X32M
is fixed. This is the debounce period
where the clock stabilizes before it is made available to rest of the system.
