about crystal used for 8051

Hello sir.....

i am new in the field of controllers.....
i have some doubts to ask....

The crystal which we are using ..its made up by which material?

Why we use capacitor with crystal in microcontroller circuit?

  • Ever tried to google for any crystal FAQ?

    Or would that give too much information?

    It isn't too uncommon that the term quartz crystals is used. That should give you an idea. Of course, there could be other piezoelectric materials used.

    Why have burden capacitors? Not sure it can be answered unless you already know a bit about resonance circuits. Now would be a good idea to look at them nice crystal faqs available.
