#179587 - 32.768kHz
Responding to: ???'s previous message

When I said 32.768Khz would yield "approx. 1 sec " , I was referring to the "actual" frequency of the crystal which may not be bang on at that frequency.

Well, 32.768kHz is specifically designed for timekeeping as an exactl multiple of 1s - which is why they're sometimes known as "watch" crystals.

Note that it's 32.768kHz (lowercase 'k'; uppercase 'H')

A lowercase 'k' is 1000; uppercase 'K' is 1024

So 32.768kHz = 32KHz.
