Table 16: LFCLKSRC configuration depending on clock source

To achieve correct oscillation frequency, the load capacitance must match the specification in the crystal

data sheet. Circuit diagram of the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator on page 87 shows the LFXO circuitry.

Figure 20: Circuit diagram of the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator

The load capacitance (CL) is the total capacitance seen by the crystal across its terminals and is given by:

C1 and C2 are ceramic SMD capacitors connected between each crystal terminal and ground. Cpcb1 and

Cpcb2 are stray capacitances on the PCB. Cpin is the pin input capacitance on the XC1 and XC2 pins (see

32.768 kHz crystal oscillator (LFXO) on page 92). The load capacitors C1 and C2 should have the same

value.

For more information, see Reference circuitry on page 468.

5.4.2.5 32.768 kHz synthesized from HFCLK (LFSYNT)

LFCLK can also be synthesized from the HFCLK clock source. The accuracy of LFCLK will then be the

accuracy of the HFCLK.

Using the LFSYNT clock avoids the requirement for a 32.768 kHz crystal, but increases average power

consumption as the HFCLK will need to be requested in the system.
