Oscillator internal block diagram

The following approximate relationships hold for the minimum and the maximum oscillator

frequency respectively:

Equation 1

After fixing CF in the hundred pF or in the nF (consistently with the maximum source

capability of the RFmin pin and trading this off against the total consumption of the device),

the value of RFmin and RFmax is selected so that the oscillator frequency is able to cover

minimum load):

Equation 2

A different selection criterion is given for RFmax in case burst mode operation at no load is

used (see

Section 7.2: Operation at no load or very light load).
