Do I need an crystal Oscillator?

[dbgarasiya]

you can use internal clock

Dear Dbarasiya

do you mean I don't not need to add a 8MHz crystal oscillator in my PCB?

[berendi]

Check the electrical characteristics chapter in the reference manual, both for ADC and the HSI internal oscillator. If they are adequate for your need, then no external components are needed apart from the decoupling capacitors.

hope you understand what i means as @berendi​  has explained

Best of luck

The external crystal is needed only for USB, or when some timing task requires better accuracy than HSI.

E.g. as an asynchronous UART requires 5% accuracy, it might not work reliably in extreme temperatures.

Dear berendi

your reply is very helping! thanks :folded_hands:

The internal frequency HSI has some tolerances across chips, temperature etc... you will get a min-max range from this.

Now check if all your peripherals are ok with this.

Using USB? Need probably HSE

Using high speed UART? Need probably HSE

Using RTC? Need probably 32.768kHz HSI

Dear .

so if I need UART, then I should add a 8MHz crystal oscillator, right?
