Circuit 2
| Device |
Lower limit |
Upper limit |
| 3.58 MHz resonator |
3.460 MHz |
3.647 MHz |
| 8 MHz resonator |
7.728 MHz |
8.022 MHz |
| 10.24 MHz resonator |
10.128 MHz |
10.148 MHz |
| 10.7 MHz resonator |
10.459 MHz |
10.503 MHz |
Using a capacitor with a smaller minimum capacitance probably increases
the pulling range for the 10 MHz resonators.
