Team,

I have designed Custom Board with STM32F303Rb device and Having USB FS Communication and PWM Compare Output.

I m Using The 8Mhz SMD Crystal (YXC make) : https://www.hxcyic.com/upload/202311/27/202311272250036173.pdf

Datasheet States CL = 20 pF , Cs = 3 pF and ESR = 80 ohm.

From this post : https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus/how-to-select-a-compatible-crystal-and-load-capacitors-for-stm32/ta-p/780236

Deriving Excel Calculation , CL1=CL2 terms out 33pF. Which I populated On Board.

Issue : Sometimes , I am getting Pulse missing Issue during the Run time...Not sure why 

I just want to Verify the CL Value I am using is Corect or Not ?

Previously , I was Using Through hole part HC-49S Crystal with CL1=CL2=20pF.

    Hello,

    Your calculation is correct:

    But not sure I've understood the issue, so what do you mean by?:
