Hi all,
Is it ok to substitute a crystal with a ceramic resonator for driving a
microcontroller such as the AVR atmega8?
I would like to try using a supersmall ceramic oscillator instead of the
larger package HC49 crystals, and am wondering about the differences between
the two. From reading the specs I can see that the ceramic resonators are
typically far less accurate but are there any other drawbacks besides this?
The Murata "ceralock" ceramic resonators from digikey look pretty good. Any
other links to good small surface mount ceramic resonators at 16MHz?
cheers,
Jamie Morken
