MSP430FG6426: What is the actual max frequency/Clock rate that this controller supports

Part Number: MSP430FG6426

Dear Team,

We see different conflicting information for this controller "MSP430FG6426IPZR" on the maximum operating frequency.

The product homepage shows 25Mhz  https://www.ti.com/product/MSP430FG6426/part-details/MSP430FG6426IPZR

The datasheet says "High-frequency crystals up to 32 MHz (XT2)"

https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/msp430fg6426.pdf?ts=1662043479686&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.ti.com%252Fproduct%252FMSP430FG6426%252Fpart-details%252FMSP430FG6426IPZR

The same datasheet at "8.3 Recommended operating condition" section Page-28 says the maximum is 20Mhz

We need to run our product with the maximum clock as possible with this controller, Could you please help with the right information here on what is the maximum clock rate at which i can run this controller.

Note: Currently we use the internal oscillator with PLL to clock at 20Mhz, but we plan to use the external crystal on XT2 and try to use the maximum supported clock as possible.

Thanks

Surya
