I made the calculation as above, but I am curious as to whether I obtained the CL value correctly.

 

result)

→ECS-.327-12.5-12R-C-TR (32.768kHz   CLoad 12.5pF, Cs 5pF)

CL1=CL2=(CLoad-Cs)*2=(12.5pF - 5pF)*2

CL1, CL2 →15pF (14~16pF)

 

→ECS-120-8-36-CKM-TR (12Mhz  CLoad 8pF, Cs 5pF)

CL1=CL2=(CLoad-Cs)*2=(8pF - 5pF)*2

CL1, CL2 →6pF(5~7pF)

    Best to keep the discussion in a single thread. You can reply to your other post to add more details as needed:

    we need to consider the track capacitors from crystal to MCU. 

    in this case the CL1 and CL2 value is less than your calculation.

    anyway, the test accuracy is important when you get the board.
