Crystal Oscillator Characteristics

The following Table describes the characteristics for the oscillator when a crystal is connected between XIN and XOUT.

Figure 46-3. Oscillator Connection

The user must choose a crystal oscillator where the crystal load capacitance CL is within the range given in the Table. The exact value of CL can be found in the crystal data sheet. The capacitance of the external capacitors (CLEXT) can then be computed as follows:

CLEXT = 2(CL - CPARA - CPCB - CSHUNT)

Where:

  • CPARA is the internal load capacitor parasitic between XIN and XOUT (CPARA = (CXIN * CXOUT)/(CXIN + CXOUT))
  • CPCB is the capacitance of the PCB
  • CSHUNT is the shunt capacity of the crystal.
