SLOW CLOCK (32 KHZ) SOURCE REQUIREMENTS
Two 32-kHz oscillators are available in the device as clock sources for the 32-kHz clock:
• 32-kHz XOSC – External Crystal Oscillator
• 32-kHz RCOSC – Internal RC Oscillator
By default, after a reset, the 32-kHz RCOSC is enabled and selected as the 32-kHz clock source. The
RCOSC consumes less power, but is less accurate compared to the 32-kHz XOSC. The chosen 32-kHz
clock source drives the Sleep Timer, generates the tick for the Watchdog Timer, and is used as a strobe in Timer
2 to calculate the Sleep Timer sleep time.
The crystal is required for accurate sleep timing, so it is only needed to for the module be BLE certified when
using low power modes.

Power-down guard time
The crystal oscillator must be in power
down for a guard time before it is used
again. This requirement is valid for all
modes of operation. The need for power-
down guard time can vary with crystal
type and load.
