Remarks on defining the External Load Capacitance:
External capacitors at each crystal pin to ground are required. They are necessary to tune the effective load capacitance of the PCBs to the
required load capacitance C
L
of the crystal. The higher the capacitors, the lower the clock frequency results. The nominal free running fre-
quency should match f
p
MHz. Due to different layouts of customer PCBs the matching capacitor size should be determined in the application.
The suggested value is a figure based on experience with various PCB layouts.
Tuning condition: Code DVCO Register=–720
2)
Remarks on Pulling Range of DCO:
The pulling range of the DCO is a function of the used crystal and effective load capacitance of the IC (C

). The resulting fre-
quency f
L
with an effective load capacitance of C
