Note:

  1. These values are DC parameters that do not apply to the dynamical system of a crystal circuit. When using crystals, the circuit should be designed in a way that keeps the levels within the absolute maximum ratings (-0.3 V to VDDIO +0.3V).
  2. fCLK must be supplied by crytsal or external oscillator. If external oscillator is used, it is strongly suggested to use a duty cycle better than 45% to 55% with lower jitter performance.
  3. MEMS oscillators have a significantly higher phase noise for low offsets as compared to quartz, especially below 12 kHz. Notably worse phase noise at low offsets is critical for real-time Ethernet communications because it could cause sporadic bit errors.
