1 Crystal Oscillator Basics

To support the understanding of the trade-offs when selecting a crystal for the CC3xxx devices, this section explains the fundamentals of crystals and oscillator operations.

Section 2 explains the important aspects characteristics of a crystal to select the appropriate crystal. However, to have a more in-depth understanding of the trade-offs when selecting a crystal, it is recommended to comprehend the fundamentals of crystals and oscillator operations (see [1]).
