List of Available Crystals 17.734475 MHz (PAL, Video Synchronizing) 4.194304 MHz (Master Accurate CPU Time Base, PIC, ATMEL) 4.000000 MHz (commonly used CPU Timing xtal) PIC, ATMEL) 32.768000 KHz (Main Accurate Watch Freq, time base) - - - A more Detailed description of application follows - - - 17.734475 MHz, mostly used on PAL (Australian) TV systems for frame video synchronising etc. used commonly with the STV5730 Overlay Text.- - - - 4.194304 MHz for microprocessors, the 'correct one' not the 4MHz as commonly misused by those NOT in the know . Why do you ask ?, well, 4.194304 MHz is 2 to the power of 22, meaning in the proper normal calculations, NO Fudge Factor is required to 'correct' as in timing systems using clock display. Therefore the wander 'drift' is minimal - - - But be WARNED, If the designer of the original circuit has used a 4MHz XTAL, then you CANNOT substitute, a 4.194304 for a 4MHz xtal, unless you have access to the *.asm (assembly code) > HEX compiler and a full UNDERSTANDING of CPU timing circuits. - - - 4.oo MHz for those projects requesting a 4 meg rock. If you need it for a project, then YES, we can supply it 4.oo Mhz xtals for general timing, where accuracy is NOT a real need 4.194304 Mhz xtals offer the most accurate time base other than an Atomic Time Base, or soon a GPS module with time decode output. - - - 32.768 Khz (watch crystal) for more cpu timing projects (2 to the power of 15) for those wanting easy mathematics in common sense timing calculations - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Most XTALS are HC49 xtals a few dollars (from DSE, JAYCAR, ALTRONICS etc) or over the counter at 41 Arlewis st.
