C
STRAY
is a result of parasitic capacitances due to PCB traces, IC pins etc. and is directly
in parallel with C
0
of the crystal. In a practical situation care needs to be taken to keep
these parasitic capacitances as low as possible since it will add to the load capacitance
and this load capacitance must meet the specified value for the crystal that is being used.
If the load capacitance presented to a crystal is smaller than what the crystal was
designed for, the oscillation frequency will be too high and thus if used with an RTC, the
clock will run too fast.

The inverting amplifier (with feedback resistor, and drive resistor which are not included
in
Fig 4) is incorporated within the integrated circuit device. On the other hand, the quartz
crystal is a discrete device external to the integrated circuit. In the PCF85x3, PCA8565
and PCF2123, PCA2125 the output capacitor C
OUT
is integrated on the integrated circuit.
PCF8563A, PCA8565A and PCF2123 also include C
