Crystal Oscillator Characteristics
The following table describes the characteristics for the oscillator when a crystal is connected
between XIN and XOUT as shown in
. The user must choose a crystal oscillator
where the crystal load capacitance
C
L
is within the range given in the table. The exact value of C
L
can be found in the crystal datasheet. The capacitance of the external capacitors (C
LEXT
) can
then be computed as follows:
where C
PCB
is the capacitance of the PCB.
Notes:
1. Please refer to the SCIF chapter for details.
2. Nominal crystal cycles.

32KHz Crystal Oscillator (OSC32K) Characteristics
and the equation above also applies to the 32 KHz oscillator connection. The user
must choose a crystal oscillator where the crystal load capacitance
C
L
is within the range given
in the table. The exact value of
C
L
can then be found in the crystal datasheet.
