External Clock Operation
10 External Clock Operation
The DSP56374 system clock is derived from the on-chip oscillator or is externally supplied. To use the on-chip oscillator, connect
a crystal and associated resistor/capacitor components to EXTAL and XTAL; an example is shown below.
Suggested component values:
fosc = 24.576 MHz
R = 1 M ±10%
C (EXTAL)= 18 pF
C (XTAL) = 47 pF
Calculations are for a 12 - 49 MHz crystal with the following parameters:
• shunt capacitance (C0) of 10 pF - 12 pF
• series resistance 40 Ohm
• drive level of 10 µW
If the DSP56374 system clock is an externally supplied square wave voltage source, it is connected to EXTAL (Figure 2). When
the external square wave source connects to EXTAL, the XTAL pin is not used.
