49.6.2 Crystal Oscillator

Figure 49-7. Crystal Oscillator Schematic

The crystal should be located as close to the device as possible. Long signal lines may cause too high of a load to operate the crystal, and cause crosstalk to other parts of the system.

Note: Crystal selection must be done using both the crystal data sheet and the crystal oscillator parameters given in the XOSC Electrical Specifications from Electrical Characteristics chapter.

XINLoad capacitor. (1,2)External Crystal

Crystal frequency range specified in the XOSC Electrical Specifications (XOSC_1 parameter)

XOUTLoad capacitor. (1,2)
Note:
  1. The capacitors should be placed close to the device.
  2. Use the equation in chapter XOSC Electrical Specifications to calculate the load capacitor.
