MSP430FR6047: Doubt about Resonator

Vinayak Potadar

Part Number: MSP430FR6047

Hello TI team,

We are using MSP430FRC6043 Ultasonic watermeter IC, we have some doubt about the recommended Resonator.

as in Datasheet TI has suggested to use Resonator of ( Fosc=8Mhz,Cl=18pF,Cs=4pF) but on Evaluvation Board TI has used Resonator of(Fosc=8Mh,Cl=22pF).

and also TI has used 12pF used across the resonator.

I request you to assist on this issue.

Thank You in advance.

Hi,

Usually, if the crystal Cl is 22pF, the C1 = C2 = 22pF * 2 - around 2pF PCB capacitance - around 1pF MCU pin capacitance = around 41pF.

We choose 12pF in our EVM board, because we tested that with C1 = C2 = 12pF, the crystal is stable.

Hi Cash,

thank you for your response.

But in MSP430 data sheet the test conditions for Resonator is Fosc=8Mhz,Cl=18pF,Cs=4pF, and formula is CL=(C1*C2/(C1+C2))+Cstray. And after solving the formula we get C=32pF.

you are saying to use CL as 22pF but in Datasheet it mentioned CL as 18pF.

can you please share related documents for the above query.

thanks in advance.

Hi,

Based on the datasheet of the resonator "AWSCR-8.00CV-T" we used on the EVM board. The CL is 22pF.
