Up to six pins on a "SOT-23" I can understand, but where does the >seventh pin go? Probably an SOT-23-8. There are some 32-bit microcontrollers in 33 pin packages. The thermal pad is the ONLY ground pin IIRC. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."

QRM is man-made noise which is in the majority these days. Switch mode supplies, CF lamps and so on. And yeah, also splatters from the guy 5kHz down the road gassing about his big honking amplifier :-) -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

"...tries >to start when I tease the caps" suggests that's your problem. Funny you mention that, I ended placing a small cap (22pF) from pin 9[1] to ground to get reliable oscillation -- but that was at 8MHZ with a HC4060. A later circuit I used capacitor instead of the series resistor to the crystal (as recommended by the HCMOS oscillator appnote). [1] Pin 9 is supposed to be open with xtal circuit. I know this doesn't directly apply to OP's issue, but it shows 'finger' teasing can give an idea whether the circuit is trying to oscillate. Grant.

My rule of thumb, which seems to work with every inverter-style crystal oscillator I've ever tried: Use capacitors as recommended by the crystal specification... if it says 15pF, that means 30pF on EACH end to ground. Then choose the resistor based on 45� phase shift with the first capacitor (at the crystal frequency). ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | The only thing bipartisan in this country is hypocrisy
