Simulation data

Three sets of crystal characteristics are supported with this oscillator corresponding to three operating frequency ranges:

Set 1: Crystal frequency is between 12 and 20 MHz. See Table 11-54.
Set 2: Crystal frequency is between 20 and 30 MHz. See Table 11-55.
Set 3: Crystal frequency is between 30 and 48 MHz. See Table 11-56.

When choosing a crystal, one and only one of these sets must be completely satisfied.

C_LEXT = 2 x (C_CRYSTAL – C_PARA – C_PCB / 2).

where C_PCB is the single-ended (ground referenced) parasitic capacitance of the printed circuit board (PCB) on XIN and XOUT tracks. For example, if the crystal is specified for a 12.5 pF load, with C_PCB=1 pF (on XIN and on XOUT), C_LEXT = 2 x (12.5 - 1 - 0.5) = 22 pF.
