7.14.5.3 Fast Clock (Fref) Using an External Crystal

The CC3120R device also incorporates an internal crystal oscillator to support a crystal-based fast clock. The crystal is fed directly between WLAN_XTAL_P (pin 23) and WLAN_XTAL_N (pin 22) with suitable loading capacitors.

Figure 7-11 shows the crystal connections for the fast clock.

CC3120 Fast Clock Crystal Connections
A. The crystal capacitance must be tuned to ensure that the PPM requirement is met. See CC31xx & CC32xx Frequency Tuning for information on frequency tuning.
