running nrf 52832 with external 16 MHz crystal

[yaron]

Hi

nrf 52832 is able to run in 64 MHz using external 32 MHz crystal. I wondered if I can use an external 16 MHz crystal, and get the CPU to run in 32 Mhz.

Thanks Yaron

Simple answers:

1. You have to use a 32MHz crystal (16MHz crystals are no longer an option as it used to be on the nRF51).

2. You can only run the CPU at 64MHz.

Hi Martin. Thanks for your answer. You are basicly correct, my porpuse is to save current. But since in my code I have some built-in delays (in which lower clock would consume less current), I wanted to test running in lower clock.
