11.2.3. Programmable Load Capacitance
The programmable load capacitance has 16 values to support crystal oscillators with a wide range of
recommended load capacitance. If Automatic Load Capacitance Stepping is enabled, the crystal load capacitors
start at the smallest setting to allow a fast startup time, then slowly increase the capacitance until the final
programmed value is reached. The final programmed loading capacitor value is specified using the LOADCAP bits
in the RTC0XCF register. The LOADCAP setting specifies the amount of on-chip load capacitance and does not
include any stray PCB capacitance. Once the final programmed loading capacitor value is reached, the LOADRDY
flag will be set by hardware to logic 1.
When using the SmaRTClock oscillator in self-oscillate mode, the programmable load capacitance can be used to
fine tune the oscillation frequency. In most cases, increasing the load capacitor value will result in a decrease in
oscillation frequency.
.Table 11.2 shows the crystal load capacitance for various settings of LOADCAP.
