MSP430FR2355: Crystal oscillator

Part Number: MSP430FR2355


Hello team,

we are using MSP430FR2355 for our project. shall we connect crystal oscillator as clock source or crystal? how can we connect crystal oscillator?

thanks

  • If what you have is an external crystal oscillator -- a single chip containing a crystal, capacitors and an oscillator circuit  -- you should connect it as an "external oscillator" or "clock": Bring its (one) signal into XIN and set XT1BYPASS=1. 

    If what you have is an external crystal -- a bare crystal -- you should connect it as an "external crystal" with external load capacitors and use the MCU's (internal) oscillator circuit: Bring its (two) signals into XIN and XOUT and set XT1BYPASS=0.
