Hi all,

More interesting is the clock source, where I would like to see a switchable clock source between:
- regular inetrnal VCTCXO
- external clock input (U.FL)
on the compal phones, a stand-alone oscillator (with control input) is used, so I think you'll want to copy that. There are tiny single gate multiplexers (e.g. 74LVC1G157) where NXP specifies a propagation delay of 13ns max (125°C temperature, 1.65V supply), so it should certainly work at 26Mhz (RITA's input wouldn't need the full voltage swing anyway).
Does anyone have a good idea how to implement the actual switch? I think it would be best to have it software-switchable from a GPIO...
Switching the clock will produce a glitch, but we should be able to run the ARM core from the 32kHz clock crystal during that period, I think (but will have to check) would we really want to toggle between the two inputs? Do we want to autodetect a valid ext. refclock?

The micrel parts are really impressive, but much too fast for our purpose (>2GHz).
