Greetings to All:

I am trying to reduce the ppm number on the 5LP.  I have enabled the USB tab in the clock settings and have got a clock running at 1250ppm.  I was hoping to attach an external crystal with some capacitors and use them to create a more accurate clock.

I was hoping to use a watch crystal with 20ppm.  This is desirable as I am looking to microsecond timers that would be accurate.

Can I use the watch crystal, create and use a clock based off this at 24Mhz?

I am trying to locate documentation on this and my searches do not amount to any thing.

Help is appreciated, regards.

Ken.

Hi,

I'm sorry hearing that the USB Clock of 5LP does not have enough accuracy.

I tried with CY8CKIT-059. (5LP)

I'm afraid that there is no path from XTAL 32kHz to Master Clock.

The XTAL needs to be 4MHz ~ 25MHz.

Then I tried with CY8CKIT-044 (4200M)

If I set wco (32kHz) with 20PPM accuracy

We can trim IMO with WCO, so that IMO accuracy is +/- 0.2%
