Hi All
On our CC1101 production units we utilise a 27MHz crystal on an 868MHz design. We have found significant frequency offset between batches of units caused by tolerance of the crystal and load capacitors, by measuring the clock output using the default configuration of GDO0 (CLK/192). This frequency offset has resulted in units in an older batch not communicating with units from a newer batch.
The referred question had a final comment of modifying the FREQOFF register. I attempted this with some small values and found it to have solved our problem of units between batches not communicating.
My question: Apart from sourcing better quality components, is the correct way of tuning the frequency to modify this FREQOFF register until the transmitted carrier matches exactly 868MHz?
Thanks in advance
Justin
