For C

and C

, it is recommended to use high-quality external ceramic capacitors in the

5 pF to 25 pF range (typ.), designed for high-frequency applications, and selected to match

the requirements of the crystal or resonator (see Figure 15). C

and C

are usually the

same size. The crystal manufacturer typically specifies a load capacitance which is the

series combination of C

and C

. PCB and MCU pin capacitance must be included (10 pF

can be used as a rough estimate of the combined pin and board capacitance) when sizing

and C

Note: For information on selecting the crystal, refer to the application note AN2867 “Oscillator

design guide for ST microcontrollers” available from the ST website www.st.com.
