Since this is a Tuning Fork type of crystal they are sensitive to to much energy and might become damaged if you use them incorrectly. You should read this article: http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/appnotes/91097a.pdf and also read the Microchip application note above that Bill van Dijk suggested as they both explain/discuss how to use this type of crystal.
In this document for the PIC-processor in question: http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/devicedoc/41364e.pdf they also mention the 91097a.pdf above as a document to read on page 71. /Martin On Thursday, 20 May 2021 at 20:40:49 UTC+2 MrThe50sanchez wrote: > Ei Martin! > > I'm using PIC16F1936 (16F family!) > > my connections are the following. > > Crystal pin 1 - RA7/OSC1/CLKIN/SEG2 > Crystal pin 2 - RA6/OSC2/CLKOUT/VCAP/SEG1 > > > I add you my pcb design (The old one) and the new one! > > (OLD ONE) > [image: old ddesign.png] > > > > NEW DESIGN > [image: new design.png] > > > Thanks a lot! > > El jue, 20 may 2021 a las 16:28, Dekatron42 (<[email protected]>) > escribió: > >> What PIC-controller is the crystal hooked up to?
