Re: Crystal oscillator circuit design
If you can find a crystal in an HC-6 or HC25 package, the larger quartz disc is a lot less delicate: the dissipation rating is 10x higher and the ESR is lower. win-win-win.
The small crystal would have been for timing and would have used a CMOS gate in a not-quite-all-there Pierce circuit.
