#106396 - back to basics (too long ago)
Responding to: ???'s previous message

The two caps appear to be in series for the crystal. So, the capacitive load is (burden cap + XTAL port stray capacitance) / 2. Two identical caps in series give a capacitance of half the single capacitance.


I'm pretty sure I get this part. Electronics is my first love, but it's been 25 years since I spent any time using it. I went to SW instead (I hate trig and calc)


Kevin, don't stop asking! The more the better! It's a plain pleasure to discuss with someone how is such eager to learn like you. Keep the shining in your eyes...


Be careful what you ask for, you might get it :)
