https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/6239/16mhz-vs-32mhz-for-nrf51422Hi all, I am choosing a oscillator and my choice was a 16MHz stability +-9ppm, tolerance +-10ppm, 9pF my FAE gave me the hint to use a 32MHz which is stability +-20ppm, tolerance +-10ppm, 10pF because this was used successfully in another design. en-USTelligent Community 13Fri, 27 Mar 2015 15:08:34 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/21847?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 27 Mar 2015 15:08:34 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:18257d19-8241-464e-88c2-302388044270Stefan Birnir Sverrisson<p>Hi Fran</p> <p>The 16MHz crystal oscillator you mention is a great choice. It is not worse than the 32MHz crystal you mention. The motivation to use a 32MHz crystal instead of 16MHz is to save board space because it is smaller, or if you need 32MHz also for something else on your board. But I guess the 32MHz crystal is also more expensive than 16MHz crystal.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
