OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT
The DS1685 uses an external 32.768kHz crystal. The oscillator circuit does not require any external resistors or
capacitors to operate. Table 1 specifies several crystal parameters for the external crystal, and Figure 2 shows a
functional schematic of the oscillator circuit. The oscillator is controlled by an enable bit in the control register.
Oscillator startup times are highly dependent upon crystal characteristics, PC board leakage, and layout. High ESR
and excessive capacitive loads are the major contributors to long startup times. A circuit using a crystal with the
recommended characteristics and proper layout usually starts within one second.
