Using USB with internal Oscillator possible?

Hello,

we develop a very small and cost sensitive circuitry that is a USB device. Looking for affordable and small resonators/crystals we considered to use the internal oscillator of the STM32F203T8 instead. Is this possible and reliable enough?

USB full speed requires crystal. (I think the stm32 can't do low speed.)

maybe you could run at 48MHz from HSI+PLL, while continually calibrating in software from LSE running a 32KHz crystal (these are cheaper, aren't they?), but you may have too much jitter.

Years past we had similar issue while attaching 2 micros

via Uart. Equation uncovered acceptable variance between

the ''fastest'' sender versus the ''slowest'' receiver.

However - the issues of temperature and aging also arose.

Crystal & resonator solved this in the past - I especially

like lanchon's 32Khz xtal ''reference'' suggestion. It's

unfortunate that ''normal'' xtals for STM32 are BIGGER than the micro...
