CLOCK AND TIMING CHARACTERISTICS (Cont’d)
12.5.3 Crystal and Ceramic Resonator Oscillators
The ST7 internal clock can be supplied with four
different Crystal/Ceramic resonator oscillators. All
the information given in this paragraph are based
on characterization results with specified typical
external components. In the application, the reso-
nator and the load capacitors have to be placed as
close as possible to the oscillator pins in order to
minimize output distortion and start-up stabiliza-
tion time. Refer to the crystal/ceramic resonator
manufacturer for more details (frequency, pack-
age, accuracy...).

Notes:
1. The oscillator selection can be optimized in terms of supply current using an high quality resonator with small RS value.
Refer to crystal/ceramic resonator manufacturer for more details.
2. Data based on characterisation results, not tested in production.
3. The relatively low value of the RF resistor, offers a good protection against issues resulting from use in a humid envi-
ronment, due to the induced leakage and the bias condition change. However, it is recommended to take this point into
account if the µC is used in tough humidity conditions.
3. For CL1 and CL2 it is recommended to use high-quality 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. CL1 and CL2, are usu-
ally the same size. The crystal manufacturer typically specifies a load capacitance which is the series combination of CL1
and CL2. PCB and MCU pin capacitance must be included when sizing CL1 and CL2 (10 pF can be used as a rough esti-
mate of the combined pin and board capacitance).
