The kit comes with a 32KHz crystal. The packaging for the crystal calls out CL = 7pF. In the BOM found in the MSP430 Hardware Tools User Guide is references 12.5pF. My questions are:
1. Is there internal capacitance that is part of the crystal? If so is it 7 or 12.5pF?
2. Regardless, how am I to determine the amount of load capacitance I need ? I'm using an F47176. Do I even need any additional capacitance as is provided with the part?
Thanks,
Bob
