9.2. External clock source
“Fast Start Up” applications require a maximum clock startup time of 20 ms. This cannot not be
realized with a crystal. For “Fast Start Up” applications an external oscillator is recommended.
It is possible to use an external clock source instead of a quartz crystal as clock input for XCLK1 (Pin N11) as well. In this case the XCLK2 has to be
left unconnected and the port XCLK1 has to fulfil the following requirements:

Recommended external crystal oscillators:

PCB layout hints:
• Place the input and output pins of the oscillator and the resistor and external component close to each other, and keep
wiring as short as possible.
• Make the wiring between the ground side of the capacitor and the ground pin of the TPS-1 as short and as thick as
possible.
• Keep the lead wire of the “crystal” and capacitor as short as possible, and fix the “crystal” and the capacitor to the
printed circuit board to keep the influence of mechanical vibrations to a minimum.
• Layout the external constant portions so that it is surrounded by GND as far as possible.
