CC2420 Datasheet, PDF (53/92 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 / ZigBee-ready RF Transceiver

The battery monitor is controlled through
the BATTMON control register. The battery
monitor is enabled and disabled using the
BATTMON.BATTMON_EN control bit. The
voltage regulator must also be enabled
when using the battery monitor.
The battery monitor status bit is available
in the BATTMON.BATTMON_OK status bit.
This bit is high when the VREG_IN input
voltage is higher than the toggle voltage
V_toggle.
The battery monitor toggle voltage is set in
the 5-bit BATTMON.BATTMON_VOLTAGE
control bits. BATTMON_VOLTAGE is an
unsigned, positive number from 0 to 31.
The toggle voltage is given by:
72 − BATTMON_VOLTAGE
V = 1.25V⋅

31 Crystal Oscillator
An external clock signal or the internal
crystal oscillator can be used as main
frequency reference. The reference
frequency must be 16 MHz. Because the
crystal frequency is used as reference for
the data rate as well as other internal
signal processing functions, other
frequencies cannot be used.
If an external clock signal is used this
should be connected to XOSC16_Q1, while
XOSC16_Q2 should be left open. The
MAIN.XOSC16M_BYPASS bit must be set
when an external clock signal is used.
Using the internal crystal oscillator, the
crystal must be connected between the
XOSC16_Q1 and XOSC16_Q2 pins. The
oscillator is designed for parallel mode
operation of the crystal. In addition,
loading capacitors (C₃₈₁ and C₃₉₁) for the
crystal are required. The loading capacitor
values depend on the total load
capacitance, C_L, specified for the crystal.
The total load capacitance seen between
the crystal terminals should equal C_L for
the crystal to oscillate at the specified
frequency.

Alternatively, for a desired toggle voltage,
BATTMON_VOLTAGE should be set
according to:
V BATTMON_VOLTAGE = 72 − 27 ⋅ toggle
1.25 V
The voltage regulator must be enabled for
at least 100 µs before the first
measurement. After being enabled, the
BATTMON_OK status bit needs 2 µs to
settle for each new toggle voltage
programmed.
The main performance characteristics of
the battery monitor is shown in the
Electrical Specifications section on page

C₃₈₁ C₃₉₁
The parasitic capacitance is constituted by
pin input capacitance and PCB stray
capacitance. The total parasitic
capacitance is typically 2 pF - 5 pF.
The crystal oscillator circuit is shown in
Figure 30. Typical component values for
different values of C_L are given in Table
10.
The crystal oscillator is amplitude
regulated. This means that a high current
is used to start up the oscillations. When
the amplitude builds up, the current is
reduced to what is necessary to maintain
a stable oscillation. This ensures a fast
start-up and keeps the drive level to a
minimum. The ESR of the crystal must be
within the specification in order to ensure
a reliable start-up (see the Electrical
Specifications section).
