Notes:

*The FT 5000 Free Topology Smart Transceiver requires an external 10MHz crystal oscillator. From this external clock, an on-chip phase-locked loop (PLL) applies a user-specified multiplier to generate the internal clock for the chip. The maximum multiplier is 4, resulting in a maximum internal clock speed of 40 MHz. The 3100 Series chips use a fixed multiplier of 0.5, so that a 10MHz external clock results in a 5MHz internal clock.

**The FT 5000 Free Topology Smart Transceiver includes 64KB of RAM, of which 42KB is available for user applications and data, 16KB is used for a copy of the Neuron system firmware, and 6KB is reserved for use by the firmware.
