4.2.1 Crystals

The SAM G53 Xplained Pro kit contains one mounted 32kHz crystal and a footprint for a second crystal. The crystal circuit has a cut-strap next to it that can be used to measure the oscillator safety factor. This is done by cutting the strap and adding a resistor across the strap. More information about oscillator allowance and safety factor can be found in application note AVR4100.
