Can I overclock the nRF52832 from 64MHz to 80MHz?https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/92249/can-i-overclock-the-nrf52832-from-64mhz-to-80mhzHi, I am curious about overclocking of nRF52832. The reference design of nRF52832 used 32MHz oscilators to get the 64Mhz system clock. If change the XC oscillator from 32MHz to 40Mhz, can I get the 80MHz system clock?

As Max pointed out above, the clock will offset the RADIO carrier frequency so the radio packets won&#39;t be visible if it even works at all.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>RE: Can I overclock the nRF52832 from 64MHz to 80MHz?https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/387628?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 23 Sep 2022 08:14:36 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:5361c099-2a2f-49b9-a219-4ae2d95e1337CheMax<p>Most likely nothing will happen to the controller, it has a good margin of safety. But the internal systems will not work correctly. I suppose that the bluetooth, in principle, will cease to be visible on the air due to a frequency mismatch.&nbsp;And more likely, there will be problems with the flash memory. This is the slowest component of the system and it works at certain frequencies.</p> <p>what is the meaning of such an increase in frequency? You will definitely lose in consumption without getting a significant gain in performance. It is better to write more optimal code.</p> <p>regards, Max</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
