I'm trying to work an AVR into my design, and want to use a 16MHz external clock source on XTAL. There are a couple of attractive, small, SMT ceramic resonators with built in load capacitance that I'd like to use, but the datasheet recommends a crystal. Is it safe to go with a ceramic resonator? If not, why not? What's the difference between the two?
