Crystals
Notes on crystals:
- Crystals are high precision timekeeping devices - much better than resonators - but are more $ and may require capacitors
- Frequencies may vary with temperature and the capacitors used
- In general we'll have the larger/cheaper packages
- If you need to have matching capacitors, pick ones a couple pF smaller than double the load capacitance rated. For example, a 12.5pF clock crystal would take ~20pF caps

Resonators
Notes on Resonators:
- Resonators are reasonable-precision timekeeping devices - not as good as crystals but better than RC oscillators. Cheap & easy to use
- Frequencies may vary with temperature and voltage used
- Theres a couple manufacturers so we have multiple links
- They have built in capacitors so just connect middle pin to ground and the outer two to the crystal pins of your oscillator
