CRYSTAL SELECTION GUIDELINES
The crystal oscillator of the IA4420 requires a 10 MHz parallel mode crystal. The circuit contains an integrated load capacitor in order to
minimize the external component count. The internal load capacitance value is programmable from 8.5 pF to 16 pF in 0.5 pF steps. With
appropriate PCB layout, the total load capacitance value can be 10 pF to 20 pF so a variety of crystal types can be used.
When the total load capacitance is not more than 20 pF and a worst case 7 pF shunt capacitance (C0) value is expected for the crystal, the
oscillator is able to start up with any crystal having less than 300 ohms ESR (equivalent series loss resistance). However, lower C0 and ESR
values guarantee faster oscillator startup.
The crystal frequency is used as the reference of the PLL, which generates the local oscillator frequency (fLO). Therefore fLO is directly
proportional to the crystal frequency. The accuracy requirements for production tolerance, temperature drift and aging can thus be determined
from the maximum allowable local oscillator frequency error.
Whenever a low frequency error is essential for the application, it is possible to “pull” the crystal to the accurate frequency by changing the
load capacitor value. The widest pulling range can be achieved if the nominal required load capacitance of the crystal is in the “midrange”,
for example 16 pF. The “pull-ability” of the crystal is defined by its motional capacitance and C0.
