Crystal options

Dear Luminary,

So far, I have used an 8.000MHz 5mm x 7mm crystal for my Luminary designs, however, I have been salivating over some of the smaller crystals available. Unfortunately, the 8.192MHz upper limit of the PLL selection field limits ones choice of crystals to the bulkier variety.

Is there any plan to permit higher frequency crystal options in the future? It would sure be nice if we could go as high as 16.000MHZ, but even 12.000MHz would open up a few of the smaller-sized options.

I realize the benefits of using a lower frequency crystal from an EMI perspective, and appreciate the present capability from that regard. It's just the crystal is bigger than the processor...

Hope you can comment. Thank you!

Regards,
Dave
