3.2.4 Calculation of the external capacitors
1. Determination of necessary crystal frequency using formula [3-19].
e.g. fFSK- = fCOSC LOW
2. Determine corresponding CLoad applying formula [3-18].
e.g. CL FSK- = CL ±
3. Necessary CV using formula [3-17].
e.g.

Application
1. When the necessary Cv for the 3 frequencies (Cv- for FSK LOW, Cv+ for FSK HIGH and Cvm for
FSK-receive) are known the external capacitors and the internal tuning caps can be calculated
using the following formulas:
-FSK:
+FSK:
FSK_RX:
Cv1 + Ctune1 = Cv- – C21
Cv2 + Ctune2 = (-(--CC----v-v--11----++-----CC----tt-u-u--n-n--ee--1-1--))---–-×--(-(-C-C----vv--+-+----––----C-C---2-2--11---))- – C20
Cv3 + Ctune2 = (-(--C-C---v-v--1-1---++-----CC----tt-u-u--n-n--e-e-1-1--)-)---–×---(-(--CC----v-v--mm-----––----C-C----22--1-1--)-) – C20 – Cv2 – C22
[3 – 27]
[3 – 28]
[3 – 29]
To compensate frequency errors due to crystal and component tolerance Cv1, Cv2 and Cv3 have to
be varied. To enable this correction, half of the necessary capacitance variation has to be realized
with the internal C-banks.
If no finetuning is intended it is recommended to leave XIN (Pin 21) open. So the parasitic
capacitance of Pin 21 has no effect.
Note: Please keep in mind also to include the Pad parasitics of the circuit board.
In the suitable range for the serial capacitor, either capacitors with a tolerance of 0.1pF or 1% are
available.
A spreadsheet, which can be used to predict the total frequency error by simply entering the crystal
specification, may be obtained from Infineon.
3.2.5 FSK-switch modes
The FSK-switch can be used either in a bipolar or in a FET mode. The mode of this switch is
controlled by bit D0 of the XTAL_CONFIG register (subaddress 0EH).
In the bipolar mode the FSK-switch can be controlled by a ramp function. This ramp function is set
by the bits D1 and D2 of the XTAL_CONFIG register (subadress 0EH). With these modes of the
FSK-switch the bandwidth of the FSK spectrum can be influenced.
When working in the FET mode the power consumption can be reduced by about 200 mA.
