Hi Folks, Sorry for this off-topic post but I've run out of ideas. Does anybody know where I can get 10 to 20 pieces of a 12MHz SMD crystal with Cload of less than 16pF, ESR less than 100 ohms and a frequency tolerance of better than +/- 60 ppm? Digi-key has one (#644-1018-1-ND)

doubly bad... Your accuracvy in this situatioh will be dominated by the voltage divider. You will have to pay a lot of money to get 0.1% resistors which is about what you would need to get the accuracy contribution of the divider equal to the accuracy of a 10 bit ADC with perfect

Do you really need accuracy or do you actually need resolution? With 16 bits, your least significant bit will be just over 15 microvolts for a 1 volt full scale input. This would equate to 45 microvolts at 2.5 volts FS. At the very least, way down in the mud for most applications
