There is an additional transceiver that requires a 32MHz clock input. Is there a 32MHz output from the nRF that can be used so we do not have to include an additional xtal for the transceiver?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sorry for the late reply. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t think this will be possible. The SPI clock is not accurate enough to use as a reference for a clock. It&amp;#39;s also not possible to share the 32MHz crystal connecting an extra load, as the radio on the nRF52 will no function properly then. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
