There are no such things as 'tunable' and 'untunable' xtals. *Every* xtal behaves has a parallel or series LC circuit near resonance (depending on how it's used) and can be detuned by adding some capacitance. That by itself does not make it less stable. Even PLLs are often implemented using a VCXO (voltage controlled xtal oscillator). You get the stability of the external reference, and outside the loop bandwidth, the quality of an xtal. Standard practice in all sorts of telecomm equipment, and the stability requirements there are orders of magnitude more strict than for audio. -- FA ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
