POST OFFICE BOX 1443 HOUSTON, TEXAS 77001 35
CLOCK CHARACTERISTICS AND TIMING
The TMS320C25-50 can use either its internal oscillator or an external frequency source for a clock.
internal clock option
The internal oscillator is enabled by connecting a crystal across X1 and X2, CLKIN. The frequency of CLKOUT1
is one-fourth the crystal fundamental frequency. The crystal should be in either fundamental or overtone mode,
and parallel resonant, with an effective series resistance of 30 , a power dissipation of 1 mW, and be specified
at a load capacitance of 20 pF. Note that overtone crystals require an additional tuned LC circuit.
PARAMETER TEST CONDITIONS MIN TYPMAX UNIT
fxInput clock frequency TA = 0°C to 70°C 6.7 51.2 MHz
fsx Serial port frequency TA = 0°C to 70°C 0 6.4 MHz
C1, C2 TA = 0°C to 70°C 10 pF
The serial port was tested at a minimum frequency of 1.25 MHz. However, the serial port was fully static but will properly function down to
fsx = 0 Hz.

external clock option
An external frequency source can be used by injecting the frequency directly into X2/CLK, with X1 left
unconnected. The external frequency injected must conform to specifications listed in the following table.
