3.2 Frequency Accuracy

The total tolerance of the frequency accuracy of a crystal is dependent on several factors:

  • Production tolerance
  • Temperature tolerance
  • Aging effects
  • Frequency pulling of the crystal due to mismatched loading capacitance

When selecting the crystal, consider these parameters. Equation 9 gives the total crystal tolerance.

Equation 9. GUID-1292148E-C0E4-42E1-8BB5-79E09426F0E7-low.gif

These values are given in parts per million (ppm) and can be found in the device-specific data sheet of the crystal manufacturer, except pullability, which can be calculated by the formula in Section 1.
