Crystals and Resonators
Crystals and ceramic resonators (Figure 16) should have the
following characteristics to ensure proper oscillation:
Crystal Cut
Mode
Crystal Capacitance
Load Capacitance
Resistance
AT (crystal only)
Parallel, Fundamental Mode
<7pF
10pF < CL < 220 pF,
15 typical
100 ohms max
Depending on the operation frequency, the oscillator can re-
quire additional capacitors, C1 and C2, as shown in Figure
16 and Figure 17. The capacitance values are dependent on
the manufacturerÕs crystal specifications.
