Crystal oscillator capacitors

August 10, 2023 / erhannis / Leave a comment

Apparently a crystal oscillator marked "20pF" DOESN'T get 20pF caps, it gets ~35pF caps. (In the usual microcontroller's oscillator configuration, anyway.) My rule of thumb, now, is C=2L-5pF. See https://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/677202/166296 .
