OSCILLATOR DRIVER
FOR CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR OR CERAMIC RESONATOR
SCES469D AUGUST 2003 REVISED JANUARY 2007
The open-loop gain of the unbuffered inverter decreases as power-supply voltage decreases. This decreases
the closed-loop gain of the oscillator circuit. The value of R
s
can be decreased to increase the closed-loop
gain, while maintaining the power dissipation of the crystal within the maximum limit.
R
s
and C
2
form a low-pass filter and reduce spurious oscillations. Component values can be adjusted, based
on the desired cutoff frequency.
C
2
can be increased over C
1
to increase the phase shift and help in start-up of the oscillator. Increasing C
2
may affect the duty cycle of the output voltage.
At high frequency, phase shift due to R
s
becomes significant. In this case, R
s
can be replaced by a capacitor
to reduce the phase shift.
