There is also a fast starting 12 MHz ring oscillator that provides the clock while the crystal oscillator is starting up. Frequency tolerance of the high-speed crystal is ±30 ppm. The low frequency clock is used in Low Power mode and can be supplied either by a 32.7kHz oscillator that uses an external crystal and guarantees up to ±50 ppm frequency tolerance, or by a ring oscillator with maximum ±500 ppm frequency tolerance, which does not require any external components.    32.768 kHz Crystal Specification Requirements Symbol Parameter Typ.

RF Design Notes 11.1. Recommended RF Layout & Ground Plane The integrated ceramic chip antenna requires a suitable ground plane to radiate effectively. Reducing the ground plane from that shown in figure 7 will reduce the effective radiated power. The BMD-100 module should be placed at the edge of the ground plane with the antenna side towards the edge. Place a copper keep-out under the antenna (area shown in red). The area under the keep-out and extending out from the edge of the ground plane should be kept clear of copper and other metal. The BMD-100 uses a Johanson Technology 2450AT07A0100 chip antenna.  Additional information on the antenna can be acquired from www.johansontechnology.com.

Mechanical Enclosure Care should be taken when designing and placing the module into an enclosure. Metal should be kept clear from the antenna area, both above and below. Any metal around the module can negatively impact RF performance.  The module is designed and tuned for the antenna and RF components to be in free air. Any potting, epoxy fill, plastic overmolding, or conformal coating can negatively impact RF performance and must be evaluated by the customer. 11.3. Antenna Pattern TBD. 11.3.1.
