Silicon Labs EFM32: Do I need external AC coupling when using a sine wave with an external oscillator?

EFx32

If the input from the external oscillator is a sine wave, the HFXOMODE (LFXOMODE) in the CMU_CTRL register should be set to BUFEXTCLK. This enables the AC coupling built into the EFM32. Therefore, external AC coupling is basically unnecessary.
Please refer to the following application notes regarding the use of external oscillators.
