Default Re: Crystal oscillator circuit design

The data sheet doesn't even tell you whether its a parallel or series mode crystal (all crystals have both modes it's a matter of which one is on the quoted frequency. I expect it to be series mode so you need to look for series mode oscillators.

Dissipation depends on the crystal's ESR. It's a cruel game giving you a dissipation limit and no spec on esr.

This is a miniature crystal of low-ish performance intended for clocking CPUs, serial links etc.

Have a read at the amateur radio books like 'Solid state design for the radio amateur' or there's my oscillators chapter in the ARRL handbook.
