If they don't say, often a capacitance will be specified, which gives it away as being parallel cut. /\/\/\/*=Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pic Dude" To: Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 1:20 PM Subject: [EE]: Crystal types... When purchasing a crystal, how do I tell the diff between series-cut and parallel-cut? The 16F872 datasheet specifies parallel req'd, as series may give a diff freq.
