For customers designing Texas Instruments
CC1xxx, CC25xx, CC430, CC85xx series series Low Power RF applications

The following provides a basic explanation of design considerations for the external oscillation circuit using quartz crystal for 'Low Power RF' technology including ZigBee,IEEE802.15.4 and sub 1 GHz band wireless applications. "Please refer to Texas Instrument ZigBee/IEEE802.15.4 and sub 1 GHz band solution below."

Clock solution recommendations

In realizing low power consumption RF designs, the following factors should be taken into consideration.

1. Oscillation start-up time

2. Frequency tuning

3. Lower BER(Bit Error Rate) over operating temperature

No.

Oscillation Circuit Factor

2.4GHz , sub 1GHz

sub 1GHz(narrow band)

AT crystal unit spec.

TCXO spec.

1

Quick oscillation start-up time
- High oscillation allowance
- Boost inverter

Lower ESR(R1)
High drive level

Quick start-up time

2

Easy frequency control
- inner frequency tuning capacitor

proper frequency sensitivity
low parameters' variation

High frequency stability

3

Lower BER
- temperature compensation

High frequency stability

High frequency stability

MHz Crystal equivalent circuit

Oscillation start-up time
→ Lower ESR (R1) , Higher C1
→ Higher drive level

Suitable Frequency Tuning
→ Lower parameters variation(C0,C1,L1,ESR)

Suitable Frequency Tuning
→ Proper Sensitivity (CL,C0)

Higher Frequency Stability
→ Stable fSTA

Notes:  Above recommendations are based on actual evaluation results and intended to support users in picking the right components. And the results are only according to the sample set that received from our customers, so it is not including the dispersion trend of IC and the external parts.
As the actual board layout and choice of external components influences the best suitable crystal load capacitance, We do not assume any responsibility and grant warranty for above recommendations.
Users design must be verified and decided by own and individual evaluation.
