In the previous part of this series, we had discussed some of the important specifications of a crystal such as crystal pulling range, drive level and crystal stability with respect to temperature ...

Developing stable oscillator circuits for logic systems once was a daunting analog-design task. Now, commonly available oscillator standard cells make the job relatively simple: You add a crystal and ...

Choosing the right oscillator typically involves weighing multiple factors. Here are eight parameters that should be at the top of the list. What’s the first thing you think of when selecting ...

[Paul] likes a precise oscillator. His recent video shows a crystal oscillator with a “watch crystal” and a CMOS counter, the CD4060. Using such a circuit can produce very stable frequencies and since ...

Here’s a basic guide for considering the timing solution that’s optimal for the technologies and applications being developed today. The basic considerations when choosing a timing solution for ...
