1.Purpose and Scope
SEIKO EPSON CORP. offers an oscillation circuit evaluation service. If you can provide a few circuit boards, we will evaluate
the circuit parameters and characteristics. Then we will give
you the recommended parameters. However, sometimes
some customers cannot give us the boards. In this case,
circuit evaluation will have to be done by the customer. This
guide is a reference for customers when designing and/or
evaluating circuits. Basically, the crystal oscillation circuit is
constructed as in Figure 1. The circuit parameters depend
the many characteristics including the specification of the IC
and the oscillation frequency. In order to find the best
parameters, please measure the actual circuit. This is
document explains the procedure and technique for circuit
evaluation.
2. Methods for improving design
There are many techniques for designing good oscillation
circuit. This section outlines some techniques.
2.1.Confirmation of the oscillation circuit and construction of the lC
It is necessary to confirm the IC construction before starting
to design the oscillation circuit. When using a regular HC –
MOS (High speed C - MOS) inverter gate such as the
74HCU04 the circuit will need all external parts. However, if
the IC has built in resistors and/or capacitors, it is only
necessary to add those parts not contained in the IC. (see
Figure 2.1)
In addition to choosing an inverter gate, the gate must be the
UNBUFFERED type. Please see Figure 2.2. The unbuffered
type inverter is constructed of only one inverter, on the other
hand, the buffer type has three inverter in a gate inside it
although it is referred to by only one symbol.
