MSP430FR6989: LFXIN: external oscillator resilience test

Part Number: MSP430FR6989

Tool/software:

Team, Could you please help with the below?

As part of some resilience testing for the MSPP430 clock source:


The MSP430FR6989 switches to the internal 32kHz clock when there is a resistance of less than 300kOhm in parallel with the chip input-side load capacitor (C105) and no longer uses the externally provided clock. Unfortunately, the internal clock is relatively imprecise. Also the MCU draws a fairly high current of about 150uA in this state.
We would like to understand this behavior better.
-What criteria does the MSP use to decide whether to use the internal clock?
-Is it a documented behavior? WHere can we find the related doc?

Thanks in advance,
Also I am listing the different MSP430 App note about crystal/oscillator.
Are they all valid for FR698x also?

Or is the FR6989 datasheet/User's guide a better source of information on this matter?
Thanks
