TMS320F2800154-Q1: XTAL Frequency

Part Number: TMS320F2800154-Q1


Hi Champ,

From datasheet the XTAL frequency range is 10-20MHz,if customer use 8MHz,  any problem or risk?

  • Hi Johnson,

    The crystal oscillator was designed for crystals operating from 10MHz to 20MHz.  The design also assumes that the crystals of choice meet the specifications in table 6-8 [Crystal Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) Requirements] for ESR and load capacitance.  Short answer is yes, there is a risk if customer will use 8MHz as this is outside of the crystal oscillator input frequency of operation.  Risk is that oscillation may fail to start.

    Regards,
