8.8.1 Crystal Oscillator

8.8.2 RC-Oscillator

To trim the RC-Oscillator, set the chip select (CS) to high before sending the direct command trim_osc over SDI. Then 65 digital clock cycles of

the reference clock (e.g. 32.768 kHz) have to be sent on the clock bus (SCL), as shown in Figure 20. After that the signal on the chip select (CS)

has to be pulled down.

The calibration is effective after the 65th reference clock edge and it will be stored in a volatile memory. In case the RC-oscillator is switched off

or a power-on-reset happens (e.g. battery change), then the calibration has to be repeated.
