Required testing for Changing 16MHz oscillator

[Ron]

Hi,

I have been using a certain 16MHz oscillator up until now without any issues, and now wish to replace it for logistical reasons, what kind of testing are recommended to qualify this change? what possible effects can a different Oscillator have on the radio and in general? Is it necessary to use a spectrum analyzer?

Thanks!

Hi,

 

Compare the specs of the crystal with the requirements in the PS/Reference Manual. You can start an unmodulated RF carrier to see if it starts properly, and I would retest BLE RF-PHY to be sure that your product complies with the spec.

 

Best regards,
