RTC Crystal place is exposed on the STM32F4-Discovery board. So which kind of 32.768 KHz SMD Crystals is proper for that place? Could you give a part number or a link to buy?

- \$\begingroup\$ The datasheet for that board or the datasheet for the CPU should have all those details. It is more for a date/time clock than a RTC, which can be done by using a timer. A RTC is not always 1HZ. It can be 1KHZ/1MHZ/1GHZ. \$\endgroup\$user105652– user1056522018-10-30 00:06:20 +00:00Commented Oct 30, 2018 at 0:06

- \$\begingroup\$ @brhans I agree with Sparky. I use that board and your comment added to my knowledge base. \$\endgroup\$StainlessSteelRat– StainlessSteelRat2018-10-30 13:25:39 +00:00Commented Oct 30, 2018 at 13:25

The User Guide for your board recommends a MC306-G-06Q-32.768.
I referred to the schematic on page 28:
Don't forget to also fit R21, R22, C16 & C27 too.
If you choose a different crystal to use, make sure you check that crystal's datasheet for the appropriate capacitance values to use for C16 & C27.
