Weird, the LMK05318 datasheet shows an external crystal oscillator on pins 31 and 32. Is this an older part and the integrated oscillator is not yet released?

I went looking for phase noise specifications, as the article and CC2652RB data doesn't have much to say about how the phase noise of the integrated oscillator compares to an external oscillator.

In that particular part the BAW is part of a secondary, faster oscillator. It's leveraged for its spectral purity - its phase noise - rather than its accuracy. The datasheet you linked is for a clock chip that's designed to take in a reference clock and transform it into multiple end-use clocks.

A really neat thing you can do with that part is use a GPS receiver's pulse-per-second output as a high-accuracy, high-noise reference to generate high-accuracy, low-noise, high-frequency clocks. It's something you would see in datacenters or cell sites or distributed sensing systems.
