aw16 external oscillator circuit doesn't work????

[allegropro]

Now i am using mc9s08aw16 in my project,and the footprint is qfp44.

But i have problem with it,the external oscillator circuit doesn't work,and i test the EXTAL and XTAL signal,but cann't find any oscillating wave.I designed the schematic from the demo MC9s08aw60,i think i cann't make a mistake.

please help me!

any other have encounted this problem?

please share your experience!

Hello Allegropro,

Have you configured the clock generation registers to use the external crystal?  If so, perhaps you could post your configuration code here.  Also, the layout for the xtal circuit is somewhat critical.  This issue was discussed at some length in the following thread:

Hi allegropro,

Did you try using a scope to probe at the crystal? If it doesnt show anything.. by changing a crystal will solve the problem.

Secondly, is the value of the crystal u choose correct?

Hope these help.
