Now in order to determine the value of C
L
resulting from C
IN
, C
OUT
(plus C
T
if mounted)
and C
STRAY
it is necessary to realize that seen from the crystal, C
IN
and C
OUT
are
effectively in series; the 32 kHz signal goes from OSCI through C
IN
to ground, via ground
to C
OUT
and then through C
OUT
to OSCO. In parallel with this series circuit is C
STRAY
. For
the remainder of this discussion, whenever in formulas C
OUT
is written this represents
either the value of C
OUT
only, or in case a trimming capacitor C
T
is present too, the sum of
C
OUT
and C
T
. Now the load capacitance C
L
is given by:

The motional arm is a series circuit, which forms a closed circuit because there is a
capacitance C
PAR
connected in parallel to this series circuit. Of course the crystal itself
can’t oscillate stand alone, but the equivalent capacitance C which determines together
with L
1
the resulting resonance frequency is now given by the series circuit of C
PAR
and
C
1
. Thus C is given by

Typical values for crystal parameters are given in Table 4. From these values it is clear
that C
1
is several orders of magnitudes smaller than the other capacitances in this
expression and therefore C
1
dominates. C will be in the order of magnitude of C
1
but it
will be a bit smaller as a result of C
PAR
in series.
