Hello all,
I posted a while back about matching my CAPS to my Crystal…
I wanted to repost the question to see I have thought about this correctly.
Overall I’m looking to match an LPC23768 to an ABM3B Crystal.
LPC Info from the NXP LPC Family Guide Info:
Now, in the NXP doc UM10160 LPC2101/02/03 System Ctrl (note this is also refered to when looking at the system docs on the LPC2368).It shows this data:
Fundamental oscillation frequency (Fosc)
Crystal load capacitance (Cl)
Max Crystal series resistance (Rs)
External load caps (C-X1,2)
NXP Chart 1:
(edited for only the Fosc of 10-15Mhz)
With Fosc: 10Mhz - 15Mhz
a → Cl 10 pF, Rs <300 Ohms, CX1=18pF, CX2=18pF
b → Cl 20 pF, Rs <220 Ohms, CX1=38pF, CX2=38pF
c → Cl 30 pF, Rs <140 Ohms, CX1=58pF, CX2=58pF
Pointer to the crystal:

My thoughs is that I should be looking at the either 38pF or 18pF…
I’m consdiering the 38pF CAP… will that work?
Or, can I pick something inbetween?
Any thoughts are greatly apprecaited.
Thanks,
Brett
