MSP430F6779A: MSP low-power microcontroller forum

Part Number: MSP430F6779A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDM-3PHMTR-TAMP-ESD

Hi,

Now we are considering crystal circuit using. And we found design guid crystal circuit have series resistor, parallel resistor as figure 1 and 2. but TI not have(figure 3, TIDM-3PHMTR-TAMP-ESD ), so can you explain us for your design why do you not used resistors?

Please let me know.

Thanks and best regards,
M.HATTORI.

  • Hello,

    Please give me a day to look into this. In the meantime, could you please provide the lit number of the crystal circuit design guide you are referencing for Figures 1 and 2?

    Best regards,

    Matt

  • Hi Motoyasu,

    As mentioned in the MSP430™ 32-kHz Crystal Oscillators app report, resistors can be used with the crystal circuitry for testing purposes to debug oscillator stability for example. These configurations are for testing purposes, the circuitry used on our EVM is the recommended circuitry for use in a customer's application. As you can see in Figure 1, the resistor footprints are purely for testing purposes because they are defaulted to not being connected ("NC").

    Best regards,

    Matt
