Precaution for use the crystal unit with low CL


1. Note
A crystal unit with low CL is very sensitive to load capacitance variations of the oscillation circuit, so the environment the crystal is operated in. (*1)
Consequently, the tolerance of the oscillation frequency in the actual circuit will exceed the tolerance defined in the crystal specification significantly.
