PLL not locking/ erratic xtal behavior

2003-05-08 by development

Hi All, 
    I am facing a very peculiar problem. I am working on 
68332 with a 32.768 kHz xtal. The design was working fine 
in all the boards previously, but lately the xtal seems to 
going haywire.

    The only difference is that I have now a new set of 
boards, without any change in the crystal circuit. The PLL 
circuit does not lock by itself but if I place my finger 
somewhere near the xtal, it locks. 

 It will run like that for some time but then it starts 
behaving erratically. 

   I am using two 22pF capacitors along with a 330K resitor 
and the feedback resistor value is 10M. On the xtal it is 
written KDS 32.768.

 Any suggestions
