A 100 ppm crystal would have caused the transmission on the wrong channel, a slightly smaller error would cause bad audio distortion, since the signal would be partially outside the receiver de modulator bandwidth. When ordering a frequency for a specific frequency, specify also the load capacitance or specify the frequency slightly (a few dozen ppm) above the desired frequency and pull it down to the desired frequency with a parallel capacitor. Pulling upwards is harder with a series inductance. Overtone crystals (typically above 20 MHz) have a more limited pulling range.

Or if he really needs ppm-level accuracy/stability or better, replace the crystal with a TCXO or VCTCXO (or even OCXO if warm-up time is not important). Eg. http://www.ecsxtal.com/store/pdf/vc_txo_35sm.pdf or http://www.abracon.com/Precisiontiming/AOCJY.pdf Specs are important, because the 4060 apparently won't work with off-the-shelf frequencies, wheras the PIC or some equivalant combination of HCMOS could. >Overtone crystals (typically above 20 MHz) have a more limited pulling >range. Related to the inverse of the square of the overtone, so 1/9 range for a 3rd overtone. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."

"The Journey is the reward" > sp...(a)interlog.com Info for manufacturers:http://www.trexon.com > Embedded software/hardware/analog Info for designers: http://www.speff.com This is the actual crystal I ordered from digikey: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=X975-ND If I get the thing dialed in, the 30ppm is tolerable for my application. I will try 25pF fixed capacitor for the PI network part of the circuit. If I am paranoid should I still figure a value to limit the current so that @ 12V the max power is ~2mw? Am I running into a greater chance that I will not be driving it enough to oscillate? Or is the minimum power so far below the max power limit that it does not matter? I will use a 2Meg resistor for the foldback. Maybe a 25pF trimmer in parallel will let me dial the freq right in. The specified crystal frequency is what I need. I am not trying to shift it off the package frequency. I just want to put some variability in so that I can compensate for stray capacitance after I have mounted it in the tape deck.

Yes, particularly if you care much about drift. This particular xtal is rated at 1mW maximum. >Am I running >into a greater chance that I will not be driving it enough to >oscillate? Yes. You could empirically increase it until it doesn't start then go down by a fairly large safety margin (maybe 3:1). Or work it out from the transconductance of the oscillator amplifier (I think NXP specifies typical values on their HC datasheet). http://www.freescale.com/files/microcontrollers/doc/app_note/AN1783.pdf > Or is the minimum power so far below the max power limit >that it does not matter?
