Items to Confirm (designing of oscillation circuit)

Please note: to design oscillation circuit for CC430 Family, you need to confirm the electronic characteristics as follows:

Oscillation allowance and Negative resistance (-R):
You need to confirm oscillation capability.
We recommend the condition: (-R) / ESR > 5
* -R: Negative resistance, ESR: Equivalent Series Resistance
Drive Level:
You need to confirm if oscillation is stable, and if the drive level is within the specification.
Load Capacitance:
Load capacitance affects frequency stability, oscillation allowance, negative resistance, and start-up time of oscillation.
In addition the load capacitance is determinative factor of crystal unit's load capacitance (CL value) directly.
* frequency stability: frequency deviation out of circuit conditions.

Selection Guidance for crystal unit

When Customer selects crystal unit, ｌload capacitance (CL value) is an important factor of the selection.
For instance, crystal with small CL(7.0 pF) makes larger oscillation allowance, smaller current consumption
and worse frequency stability, like below table. Oppositely, crystal with large CL(12.5 pF) makes smaller oscillation
allowance, larger current consumption and better frequency stability.
Please select it in consideration of these characteristics.

Choosing a suitable XCAPx setting of CC430 F5137, F6137

No.	Crystal CL Value	XCAP value (integrated effective load typ.)	Advantage	Drawback
1	12.5 pF	XCAPx=2 (8.5pF)	High frequency stability	Higher current consumption, slower oscillation start up
2	7 pF	XCAPx=1 (5.5pF)	Low current consumption	Lower stability due to load capacitance variation of external components and the layout.

Remarks:
By tuning CC430 XT1DRIVE, oscillation allowance and current consumption will be controlled.

Notes:
Above recommendations are based on actual evaluation results and intended to support users in picking the right components.
And the results are only according to the sample set that received from our customers, so it is not including the dispersion trend
of IC and the external parts. As the actual board layout and choice of external components influences the best suitable crystal load
capacitance, We do not assume any responsibility and grant warranty for above recommendations.
Please refer to Texas Instruments CC430 manual for setting XCAPx and other parameters.

Precautions for designing of PCB Board

Layout of X IN, X OUT, Crystal unit, Capacitor and Resistor
-Please lay out crystal unit, capacitor and resistor near CC430 as far as possible.
-Please connect XIN and XOUT within 20mm length, and do not cross other signal lines.
For 32kHz crystal unit

If Vcc drops to below 2.5V, insert a resistor of 5.1 ohms between XOUT and GND.

GND Line Pattern and Interconnection of PCB
-Please lay out GND line pattern under crystal unit.
-In case of multi-layered PCB board, do not lay out other signal lines under crystal unit.
