Crystal Oscillator Characteristics

The following section describes the characteristics for the oscillator when a crystal is connected between XIN32 and XOUT32 pins.

Figure 46-4. Oscillator Crystal 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 = (CXIN32K CXOUT32K)/(CXIN32K + CXOUT32K) )
  • CPCB is the capacitance of the PCB
  • CSHUNT is the shunt capacity of the crystal.
