Capacitors CB1 and CB3 are bypass capacitors for the integrated analog and digital
voltage regulators to ensure stable operation and to improve noise immunity.
Capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the pins and should have a low-
resistance and low-inductance connection to ground to achieve the best performance.
The crystal (XTAL), the two load capacitors (CX1, CX2), and the internal circuitry
connected to pins XTAL1 and XTAL2 form the 16MHz crystal oscillator for the 2.4GHz
transceiver. To achieve the best accuracy and stability of the reference frequency, large
parasitic capacitances must be avoided. Crystal lines should be routed as short as
possible and not in proximity of digital I/O signals. This is especially required for the
High Data Rate Modes.
The 32.768 kHz crystal connected to the internal low power (sub 1µA) crystal oscillator
provides a stable time reference for all low power modes including 32 Bit IEEE 802.15.4

asynchronous timer T/C2
Total shunt capacitance including CX3, CX4 should not exceed 15pF across both pins.
The very low supply current of the oscillator requires careful layout of the PCB and any
leakage path must be avoided.
Crosstalk and radiation from switching digital signals to the crystal pins or the RF pins
can degrade the system performance. The programming of minimum drive strength
settings for the digital output signal is recommended (see
Strength Register
The ATmega128RFA1 supports additional features like:
• Security Module (AES)
• High Data Rate Mode up to 2MBits/s
• Antenna Diversity using alternate pin function DIG1/2 at Port G and F
