> Series cut .. Parallel cut - How does one figure out which applies to the > crystal in question. I just looked at EVERY crystal in Digikey, and NONE > (i.e. diddlysquat, Nada, Nichts, Nyet, Zip, Zilcho) specify whether the > crystal is parallel or serial cut. Parallel resonant crystals are specified with the capacitance value they require to achieve the appropriate phase shift, and series resonant crystals are not. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
