MFRC523 Crystal Requirement

    The datasheet specifies a 10pF CL and 100 Ohm ESR Crystal.
    How critical is this?
    For example, can i use a 18pF or a 12pF and 80 Ohm crystal?

    Thanks

    Hi Rajesh,

    Of course you can use these values. Typically in new designs we use 15 pF as capacitors for the crystal. Everything underneath 100 Ohm should work but aware the crystal needs to be quite accurate.
