• Manufacturer: SEMTECH [Semtech Corporation]

7. Application Information
Table 28 shows the crystal resonator specification for the crystal reference oscillator circuit of the SX1210. This
specification covers the full range of operation of the SX1210 and is employed in the reference design (see section
7.5.3).
Table 28: Crystal Resonator Specification
Note that the initial frequency tolerance, temperature stability and ageing performance should be chosen in
accordance with the target operating temperature range and the receiver bandwidth selected.
The R1, P1, S1, and R2, P2, S2 dividers are configured over the SPI interface and programmed by 8 bits each, at
addresses 6 to 11. The frequency pairs may hence be switched in a single SPI cycle.
To aid the user with calculating appropriate R, P and S values, software is available to perform the frequency
calculation. The SX1210 PLL frequency Calculator Software can be downloaded from the Semtech website.
The Dynamically Linked Library (DLL) used by the software to perform these calculations is also provided, free of
charge, to users, for inclusion in automatic production testing. Key benefits of this are:
As an ultra-low power device, the SX1210 can be configured for low minimum average power consumption. To
minimize consumption the following optimized transitions between modes are shown.

7.1. Crystal Resonator Specification
7.2. Software for Frequency Calculation
No hand trimming of the reference frequency required: the actual reference frequency of the Device Under Test
(DUT) can be easily measured (e.g. from the CLKOUT output of the SX1210) and the tool will calculate the
best frequencies to compensate for the crystal initial error.
Channel plans can be calculated and stored in the application’s memory, then adapted to the actual crystal
oscillator frequency.
