5.3. External Slow Clock (32K) Requirement
The supported digital slow clock is a free-running clock of 32.768 KHz which is supplied
from an external clock source. It shall be connected to the SLOW_CLK pin and is a
digital square-wave signal in the range of 0-1.8V Nom. See Table 2 above on page 10
for module pin number. All four core functions share a single input. Refer to * If the
available slow clock source does not meet the 40 ppm requirement, there are two options;
Use the fast clock for the FM_TX functionality. This is configured using a vendor-specific command to switch to Fref
operation after enabling the FM core with the slow clock source.
Enable clock error calibration in the FM core to compensate for the clock source error. The calibration can be done using a
known vendor-input clock error or intrinsically to the core (self-calibration).
Table 6 - Slow Clock Requirements below for slow clock specifications. SLOW_CLK is
a "fail-safe" input and can support an external clock voltage on the module pin even
when no power is supplied to the module. See Error! Reference source not found.
