Hi. Crystal again  ::)

I bought a 14.31818 crystal from Rapid Electronics a while ago (they no longer have them) but the range is on this page:

I'm a bit confused about the 3.3v/5v versions of these oscillators, as if you check the datasheets for either, they all say 5v parts.

A picture of the crystal in circuit:

Looking at the code on the part, it seems to suggest it might be suitable for both 3.3v/5v?

Might this affect the operation, before I plug it in and get into trouble?

Cheers.

I found a Rapid catalog online that shows that part as OK for both 5 volt and 3.3 volt.

Your topic is "Crystal Voltage", but this is a crystal oscillator. I want to make sure you understand the difference. This is NOT just a crystal. It's a complete circuit that has a crystal inside it.

If your circuit calls for a simple crystal this is not an exact match.

[edit] I checked the OPL3 board list, this looks like it should work.

Have Fun,
