Topic:Kt Kingtronics Specifying Quartz Crystal Resonators
Content:
When choosing a quartz crystal resonator there are many parameters that need to be selected. Many are fairly simple like the tolerance figures. However a few of the others need a little extra explanation. One is the type of resonance. Like any tuned circuit a crystal can have a parallel or series form of resonance as shown. This will have to be specified. If the crystal is to have a parallel resonance then a load capacitance will have to be chosen. This is required because any capacitance across the crystal will alter its resonance slightly. Typically this might be 30 pF, but it will be dependent upon the circuit to be used. Also the tolerance required must be specified. The closer the tolerance, the more expensive the crystal will be, so it is wise not to over-specify the item.
