System Requirements
Analog Voltage Supply Requirements
The SiW3500 SoC is designed for use with its own internal low noise analog voltage regulator. This configuration is rec-
ommended for all applications. When necessary, the internal analog regulator can be bypassed. In situations where
bypassing the internal analog regulator is required, the supply voltage to the analog circuit must satisfy the following
requirements to preserve the RF performance characteristics.
External Reference Requirements
It is possible to provide a number of reference frequencies that are typical in most cellular phones directly into ball A7 or
frequencies. The external reference clock must satisfy the following requirements in order to preserve the RF
performance characteristics.
Reference Crystal Requirements
Many reference frequencies are supported by the device. If a crystal is used as the reference frequency source, the
typical required parameters are listed below:
1. For 32-MHz crystal.
2. If DC-coupled, the external reference signal voltage must stay within this range at all times.
3. The actual values for CO and CL are dependent on the crystal manufacturer and can be compensated for by an internal crystal calibration
capability.
