What is Load Capacitance of A Crystal
When Designing circuits and while reading the datasheet of crystals, it usually talks about load Capacitance. Please help me to understand the function of load Capacitance and how it affects the oscillating circuit in my design. Usually it's rated in pico farads. What happens to the crystal if a load Capacitor is not added.
Solution
load capacitors are not optional component; they are a fundamental part of the crystal oscillator design.
