I’m designing a board with the STM32F401RBT6 and have decided to use a 48 MHz TCXO for the HSE clock.
I’ve written a simple "Hello World" program that communicates through USART.
the TCXO i used : TG2016SMN 48.0000M-MCGNNM3
Observations: When using the HSI (internal oscillator), the program works fine. When switching to the HSE (with the TCXO), the program does not work. I measured the TCXO OUTPUT SIGNAL using an oscilloscope. The waveform is shown in the attached image.
value of R8 and R9 = 0 , C13 = 10 pF , C16 = 1000pF
What could be causing the program to fail with the HSE clock? Are there any specific considerations or configurations required to use a TCXO with the HSE input on this MCU?
Dear @STOne-32 ,
Thank you for your warm welcome and for taking the time to guide me through my issue.
I appreciate your suggestions and have reviewed them in detail. Below are my responses and additional details:
1) I tried removing R9 to leave PH1 open as you suggested and nothing changed.
2) Regarding the software configuration, I have enabled HSE and set it to bypass mode. Please find my SystemClock_Config code attached below for your review.
void SystemClock_Config(void)
{
RCC_OscInitTypeDef RCC_OscInitStruct = {0};
RCC_ClkInitTypeDef RCC_ClkInitStruct = {0};
// Configure the main internal regulator output voltage
__HAL_RCC_PWR_CLK_ENABLE();
__HAL_PWR_VOLTAGESCALING_CONFIG(PWR_REGULATOR_VOLTAGE_SCALE1);
// Initializes the TCXO oscillator
RCC_OscInitStruct.OscillatorType = RCC_OSCILLATORTYPE_HSE;
RCC_OscInitStruct.HSEState = RCC_HSE_BYPASS;
RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLState = RCC_PLL_ON;
RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLSource = RCC_PLLSOURCE_HSE;
RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLM = 8;
RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLN = 336;
RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLP = RCC_PLLP_DIV2;
RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLQ = 7;
if (HAL_RCC_OscConfig(&RCC_OscInitStruct) != HAL_OK)
{
// Initialization Error
Error_Handler();
}
// Initializes the CPU, AHB and APB buses clocks
RCC_ClkInitStruct.ClockType = RCC_CLOCKTYPE_HCLK | RCC_CLOCKTYPE_SYSCLK
| RCC_CLOCKTYPE_PCLK1 | RCC_CLOCKTYPE_PCLK2;
RCC_ClkInitStruct.SYSCLKSource = RCC_SYSCLKSOURCE_PLLCLK;
RCC_ClkInitStruct.AHBCLKDivider = RCC_SYSCLK_DIV1;
RCC_ClkInitStruct.APB1CLKDivider = RCC_HCLK_DIV4;
RCC_ClkInitStruct.APB2CLKDivider = RCC_HCLK_DIV2;
if (HAL_RCC_ClockConfig(&RCC_ClkInitStruct, FLASH_LATENCY_5) != HAL_OK)
{
// Initialization Error
Error_Handler();
}
}
void Error_Handler(void)
{
// User can add his own implementation to report the HAL error return state
while(1)
{
}
}
Additionally, I have attached my complete code and the schematic of my setup for your reference.
Please let me know if there’s anything else I can check or modify.
