 I have a question about HFXO load capacitors and LFXO load capacitors. 
 Each load capacitors of nRF52840-DK are like below. 
 
 And i checked BOM file to find out load capacitance of each xtals.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you very much.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your answer is clear for me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: load capacitor calculation of nRF52840 xtals</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/257619?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2020 13:49:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:f462d728-7d62-45ee-95c7-f8dc28cd2f79</guid><dc:creator>Jared</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You forgot the C_pcb which is ~1pF. This gives 12 pF for HFXO and 13 pF for LFXO load capacitors. 12 pF was probably chosen for both as it&amp;#39;s a standard value for a capacitor and is easily available. In addition, the requirement for the accuracy on the LFXO is not as high as for the HFXO.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;best regards&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jared&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
