Crystal Oscillators

2004-01-13 by Andromeda_at_Mindspring.com

Hello,
    Are crystal oscillators as simple to use as crystals with loading caps?  I am having a devil of a time matching crystals with the right loading capacitors, and I thought switching to crystal oscillators might make this part of my life easier.
 
I ordered crystals from Digi-Key that say 20pf load, and when I hooked one up with a 20pf load on each pin, it simply didn't work.
 
Do you think crystal oscillators might solve this problem?
 
 
Regards,
