10.2
The BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go RF local oscillator and internal digital clocks are derived from the reference clock at
the BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go XTAL_IN input. This reference may be either an external clock or from a crystal
connected between XTAL_IN and XTAL_OUT. The crystal mode is described in section 10.3.
10.2.1 External Mode
BlueCore4-ROM Plug-n-Go can be configured to accept an external reference clock from another device (such as
TCXO) at XTAL_IN by connecting XTAL_OUT to ground. The external clock can be either a digital level square wave
or sinusoidal, and this may be directly coupled to XTAL_IN without the need for additional components. If the peaks
of the reference clock are below VSS_ANA or above VDD_ANA, it must be driven through a DC blocking capacitor
(approximately 33pF) connected to XTAL_IN. A digital level reference clock gives superior noise immunity, as the high
slew rate clock edges have lower voltage to phase conversion.
The external clock signal should meet the specifications in Table 10.1:
10.2.2 XTAL_IN Impedance in External Mode
The impedance of the XTAL_IN will not change significantly between operating modes, typically 10fF. When
transitioning from Deep Sleep to an active state a spike of up to 1pC may be measured. For this reason it is
recommended that a buffered clock input be used.
10.2.3 Clock Timing Accuracy
As Figure 10.3 indicates, the 250ppm timing accuracy on the external clock is required 7ms after the assertion of the
system clock request line. This is to guarantee that the firmware can maintain timing accuracy in accordance with the
Bluetooth v2.0 + EDR specification. Radio activity may occur after 11ms, therefore, at this point the timing accuracy
of the external clock source must be within 20ppm.

The frequency should be an integer multiple of 250kHz except for the CDMA/3G frequencies
VDD_ANA is 1.8V nominal
If the external clock is driven through a DC blocking capacitor, then maximum allowable amplitude is reduced from
VDD_ANA to 800mV pk-pk.
