Apologies for the delay. I am yet to hear form the team and am awaiting a response.

I have escalated this internally.

Hi Priyanka,

That would be good news, did you get confirmation from the internal team?

Hi Ryan,

[quote user=""] is it possible to use an external TCXO as the source for the 32MHz?[/quote]

This should be possible. The nRF52833 does support using an external clock source in place of the crystal oscillator for the HFCLK (64 MHz, driven by an external 32 MHz source). A TCXO is a better-quality clock that changes much less with temperature.

Though I am not sure if the nRF52833's HFXO input accepts a TCXO clipped-sine output directly. Will verify this internally and get back to you.
