53.7.2 Crystal Oscillator

The crystal oscillator schematic is shown below:

Figure 53-8. Crystal Oscillator Schematic

The crystal must 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.

Signal NameRecommended Pin ConnectionDescription
XINLoad capacitor. Value depends on Crystal manufacturers recommendation.(1)External crystal between 0.4 to 32 MHz
XOUTLoad capacitor. Value depends on Crystal manufacturers recommendation.(1)
Note:
  1. The capacitors must be placed close to the device for each supply pin pair in the signal group.
