App note from Abracon about problems due on large crystal capacitive loading on smaller sized MCUs. Link here (PDF) The 18pF plated Quartz Crystals may no longer be the ideal choice for a typical clocking circuit using an off-the- shelf MCU. As silicon geometries have shrunk over the last decade, the Pierce oscillator loop embedded […]

App note: PCB trace vs. chip antenna design considerations
Abracon lists the requirement which antenna type best fit to your application. Link here (PDF) The modern urban environment poses a challenge to high-speed designs involving Cellular, GNSS, WiFi/Bluetooth/BLE/ZigBee and LPWA protocols: the reflection, refraction, scattering, diffraction, polarization and absorption of signals necessitates highly efficient RF chains. Of all components in the chain, the antenna […]
App note: Ceramic resonators
All about ceramic resonators app note from Abracon. Link here (PDF) Why Ceramic Resonators? Ceramic resonators stand between quartz crystals and LC/RC oscillators in regard to accuracy. They offer low cost and high reliability timing devices with improved start-up time to quartz crystals.
