Reg: CC430F5137 Clock Frequency

Started by goli July 18, 2013
Hi,

I am using CC430F1537 system on chip for some of the experiments.From the data sheet I got to know that, the radio uses 26MHz clock.But I like to verify it using a timer or an oscilloscope.

Can you please suggest any method to measure the radio clock frequency.
Thanks,
Sandeep.

Sandeep,

If you have a short wave radio with a beat frequency oscillator you should
be able to hear it. Tune the radio to the clock frequency and twiddle the
VFO control and you should hear an audio tone. Verify it is from your
processor by turning it off, if the audio tone goes, it is.

Hope this helps,

Steve
