>The burden capacitors belong to the crystal and not to the processor. What happens when you use a sensible burden cap, like a 22pF ?
It swamps the oscillator voltage down too low - about 200mVpp.
[/quote said: Still oscillates though ? Like Kai said, and you and I agree with, the pins of the CPU present 5pF of load anyway. This is stupid. Maybe it reduces the processor power consumption by forcing you to use a TCXO ! Steve |
