(1) Recommended DATA_CLK speed is 2 MHz; higher data clock depends on the capacitive load. Maximum SPI clock speed should not exceed 10 MHz. This clock speed is acceptable only when external capacitive load is less than 30 pF. MISO driver has a typical output resistance of 400 Ω (12-ns time constant when 30-pF load is used).
(2) Measured with subcarrier signal at RX_IN1 or RX_IN2 and measured the digital output at MOD pin with register 0x1A bit 6 = 1
(3) Depending on the crystal parameters and components
