Oscillator (OSCV2) Block Description
11.1 Introduction
The OSCV2 module provides two alternative oscillator concepts:
• A low noise and low power Colpitts oscillator with amplitude limitation control (ALC)
• A robust full swing Pierce oscillator with the possibility to feed in an external square wave
11.1.1 Features
The Colpitts OSCV2 option provides the following features:
• Amplitude limitation control (ALC) loop:
— Low power consumption and low current induced RF emission
— Sinusoidal waveform with low RF emission
— Low crystal stress (an external damping resistor is not required)
— Normal and low amplitude mode for further reduction of power and emission
• An external biasing resistor is not required
The Pierce OSC option provides the following features:
• Wider high frequency operation range
• No DC voltage applied across the crystal
• Full rail-to-rail (2.5 V nominal) swing oscillation with low EM susceptibility
• Fast start up
Common features:
• Clock monitor (CM)
• Operation from the V
DDPLL
2.5 V (nominal) supply rail
11.1.2 Modes of Operation
Two modes of operation exist:
• Amplitude limitation controlled Colpitts oscillator mode suitable for power and emission critical
applications
• Full swing Pierce oscillator mode that can also be used to feed in an externally generated square
wave suitable for high frequency operation and harsh environments
