3.1.1 Load Capacitance As Seen By External Crystal Reference
Some earlier clock definitions do not specify a target load capacitance for the clock synthesizer
as seen by the crystal. Most of the clock designs targeted 12-13 pF due to historical reasons,
but, few designs specified the variation in their data sheets. However, the common crystals
used today are in the 17-20 pF range.
To reduce the ambiguity with this issue, this specification requires that the clock driver load
capacitance (as seen by the crystal,
not the capacitance of the individual XTAL_IN and
XTAL_OUT pins
)
be targeted
at 18pF +/- 25%.
This specification includes the clock driver
component only and does not include any capacitance associated with board vias and traces.
Doing this:
Directs all designs to the same target load capacitance.
Requires testing/guarantee by design of the variation.
Eliminates external compensation capacitors if the frequency variation can be tolerated.
