Possibility of getting DW1000 with 32MHz crystal fitted

Is it possible to get a DW1000 chip to work even though its got a 32MHz crystal fitted (assembly error).

We would want it to communicated with beacons that have the correct 38.4MHz crystal fitted.

I have noticed there is a programmable synthesiser - so I am assuming its possible.

Is there any more information on the synthesiser as it just states predefined values. I am wondering if we can change these to aligh with a 32MHz crystal

Hi @DavidG
this is definitely not possible. You must use 38.4MHz crystal.

Thanks for prompt reply.

Can I ask why or is on board PLL not really programmable (it has 16 bits and the products does spread spectrum) so I am surprised it not feasible.
