8 Clock Specifications External Sleep Clock Timing External Sleep Clock is necessary for two reasons: 1. Auto frequency Detection. This is where the internal logic will bin the Ref clock source to figure out what is the reference clock frequency is. This is done so no strapping is needed for telling 88W8997 what the ref clock input is. 2. Allow low current modes for BT to enter sleep modes such as sniff modes. The AW-CM276NF external sleep clock pin is powered from the voltage supply. Symbol Parameter Min Typ Max Units CLK Clock Frequency Range/accuracy +-250ppm(initial, aging, temperature) KHz - 10 - 2-4.
