Oscillator Lock?!?!

2004-03-14 by LightYearCS

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This is a rumor I heard. Even a field engineer thinks he heard of this also.

It’s said that if you use the same values for each of the capacitors used in the crystal oscillator circuit that sometimes the oscillator will not start up and remain in a state of lockup. Has anyone else heard of this?

Oh, and by the way, how many SPI devices do you think the ATmega64 can handle, hrm?? J
