CRYSTAL EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT
TYPICAL APPLICATION FOR A
PIERCE OSCILLATOR
The low profile CX miniature crystal is ideal for use in small, high
density, battery operated portable products. The CX crystal designed
in a Pierce oscillator (single inverter) circuit provides very low current
consumption and high stability. A conventional Pierce oscillator is
shown above. The crystal is effectively inductive and in a Pi network
circuit with C
D
and C
G
provides the additional phase shift to sustain
oscillation. The oscillation frequency (f
O
) is 15 to 250ppm above the
crystal's resonant frequency (f
S
).
Drive Level
R
A
is used to limit the crystal's drive level by forming a voltage divider
between R
A
and C
D
. R
A
also stabilizes the oscillator against changes in
the amplifier's output resistance (R
O
). R
A
should be increased for
higher voltage operation.
Load Capacitance
The CX crystal calibration tolerance is influenced by the effective
circuit capacitances, specified as the load capacitance (C
L
). C
L
is
approximately equal to:
C
L
=
C
D
x C
G

+ C

C1 Motional Capacitance
L1 Motional Inductance
C0 Shunt Capacitance
CONVENTIONAL CMOS PIERCE OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT
Note: C
D
and C
G
include stray layout-induced capacitance to ground
and C
S
is the stray shunt capacitance between the crystal terminal. In
practice, the effective value of C
L
will be less than that calculated from
C
D
, C
G
and C
S
values because of the effect of the amplifier output
resistance. C
S
should be minimized.
The oscillation frequency (f
O
) is approximately equal to:
