STM32F37xxx Electrical characteristics

For C
L1
and C
L2
, it is recommended to use high-quality external ceramic capacitors in the
5 pF to 20 pF range (typ.), designed for high-frequency applications, and selected to match
the requirements of the crystal or resonator (see Figure 14). C
L1
and C
L2
are usually the
same size. The crystal manufacturer typically specifies a load capacitance which is the
series combination of C
L1
and C
L2
. 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
C
L1
and C
L2
.
Note: For information on electing the crystal, refer to the application note AN2867 “Oscillator
design guide for ST microcontrollers” available from the ST website www.st.com.
