Things to be considered while choosing crystal resonator
One of the fundamental specifications is frequency of the quartz crystal. Mentioning the right number of significant figures conveying frequency is very important to avoid any misinterpretations. There are two modes in which Quartz crystals functions namely fundamental mode and overtone mode. Crystal working less than the frequency of 25 MHz operates in fundamental mode, while crystals with frequency more than this are normally designed to work in overtone mode. Therefore, specifying crystal resonator mode is also an important constituent.
