BCM43455 Preliminary Data Sheet
External Frequency Reference
External Frequency Reference
As an alternative to a crystal, an external precision frequency reference can be used, provided that it meets the
Phase Noise requirements listed in Table 2.
If used, the external clock should be connected to the WRF_XTAL_XOP pin through an external 1000 pF
coupling capacitor, as shown in Figure 6. The internal clock buffer connected to this pin will be turned OFF when
the BCM43455 goes into sleep mode. When the clock buffer turns ON and OFF there will be a small impedance
variation. Power must be supplied to the WRF_XTAL_VDD1P35 pin.
