I am far from a Crystal expert, but the answer is yes it will be consistant. The parameters are trim sensitivity and pullability. The attached doc has a good discussion of these parameters. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply!

""The other issue is that the oscillation frequency will be slightly
incorrect.""

This is precisely what I am experiencing... the frequency I get is
8.002MHz (about 250ppm for 8MHz).  Unfortunately, I'm keeping track
of 'seconds' and this leads to a gross error every day.  If I was
confident that each unit in production would oscillate at this
frequency 'new' frequency (within tolerances of the crystal ect...),
I could offset the difference in code to get a better 1 second
interval. 

Does anybody know if using a crystal with a load capacitance other
than what it was spec'd consistantly (within tolerance of the
crystal - from unit to unit) oscillate at a certain frequency (in my
case - 8.002MHz).

Thanks
Jesse

do not think the start up and stability are significant issues when

ESR value. The other issue is that the oscillation frequency will be

It is not specifically a reccomendation to use a CL = 9 pF crystal but more of a informative statement on what the value for CL is when using our reccomended circuit.
 
A standard 18 pF crystal can be used and is very commonly used. I do not think the start up and stability are significant issues when using a standard 18 pF crystal. The main driver on start up is the ESR value. The other issue is that the oscillation frequency will be slightly incorrect. This also has not proven to be a big problem as the error frequency is quite small.
 
The objective of the data sheet showing the CL is that if you had determined that the error in using a typical standard crystal was to great then the CL value provided gives a guidleine on how to specify a crystal to get a more precise oscillating frequency. But I think it is very lilkely a standard crystal will work perfectly fine in your application. I don't know of anyone who is using a CL = 9 pF crystal in their application. Thanks.

Subject: [motoroladsp] 56F803 - crystal selection??

Section 3.5.1 of the DSP56F803 datasheet talks about using a crystal
oscillator.  It states the no external load capacitance should be
used (the load capacitance is designed into the internal oscillator
circuitry).  In their example, they have CL = 9pF.

My question is this... if they were to now choose a crystal, they'd
have to find one spec'd for a load capacitance of 9pF?  Crystals with
18pF or even 12pF are common... but 9pF? 

The problem is if you just go ahead and plunk in a crystal spec'd at
18pF, it will not oscillate at the correct frequency (and since it's
so far out, may have stability/startup problems).

After talking to a few crystal MFG's, it's apparent that they'll
custom make a crystal with this spec, though they don't recommend it.

Has anybody else run into this?  Does Motorola recommend certain
crystals?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
J.
