Crystal selection

nRF54LS05B Datasheet

Several crystals are supported by the 32 MHz crystal oscillator.

The following figure shows a simple model of a crystal. It has R-L-C series components, called equivalent series resistance (ESR), motional capacitance (C0=N ), and motional inductance (LM ). The capacitor in parallel, C0 , is called the shunt capacitance, and models the package capacitance.

The crystal needs to have parameters ESR, C0 , and CL selected to ensure the crystal oscillator is stable.

The following figure shows the maximum allowable combinations of ESR, C0 and CL for a given crystal. A crystal is supported if that crystal's parameters fall directly on the line or below it. Crystals that are above the line are not supported.
