Source at commit fe8bdac37f8061fa43f8df92ab51ae31aa113bcf created 13 years 7 months ago. By Werner Almesberger, atrf/ecn/ecn0002.txt: added measurements after making boards use 12 pF and cleaning up the soldering. | |
---|---|
1 | Add load capacitors to 16 MHz crystal (C14, C15) |
2 | |
3 | The crystal has a specified load capacitance of 8 pF. The AT86RF230 has |
4 | an internal capacitor array that can be trimmed in 16 steps from 0 pF to |
5 | 4.5 pF. |
6 | |
7 | The crystal has a nominal tolerance of 15 ppm at 25 C plus a temperature |
8 | tolerance of 15 ppm. The following deviations from 1 MHz at CLKM were |
9 | measured with the CNTR board, roughly at 20-25 C: |

40 | (Multiple measurements to assess CNTR performance and drift. Note that |
41 | CNTR measurements are repeatable within 1 ppm, so the nominal accuracy |
42 | appears to be far too pessimistic.) |
43 | |
44 | These measurements suggest that, combined with parasitic capacitance, |
45 | load capacitors of 12 pF make the crystal roughly half the trim range |
46 | faster than 16 MHz. |
