DESIGN PROCEDURES
The following procedure applies for oscillators operating below 2MHz where Z is a resistor R1. Above 2MHz, additional
impedance elements should be considered: Cout and Ca of the amp, feedback resistor Rf, and amplifier phase shift error from
180°C.
Step 1: Calculate the equivalent series circuit of the crystal at the frequency of oscillation.

jXe
Reactance jXe should be positive, indicating that the crystal is operating as an inductive reactance at the oscillation frequency.
The maximum Rs for the crystal should be used in the equation.
Step 2: Determine β, the attenuation, of the feedback network. For a closed-loop gain of 2,Aνβ = 2,β = 2/Aν where Aν is
the gain of the HC4060A amplifier.
Step 3: Determine the manufacturer’s loading capacitance. For example: A manufacturer may specify an external load
capacitance of 32pF at the required frequency.
Step 4: Determine the required Q of the system, and calculate Rload, For example, a manufacturer specifies a crystal Q of
100,000. In-circuit Q is arbitrarily set at 20% below crystal Q or 80,000. Then Rload = (2πfoLS/Q) – Rs where Ls and Rs are
crystal parameters.
Step 5: Simultaneously solve, using a computer,

Here R = Rout + R1. Rout is amp output resistance, R1 is Z. The C corresponding to XC is given by C = C1 + Cin.
Alternately, pick a value for R1 (i.e, let R1 = RS). Solve Equations 1 and 2 for C1 and C2. Use Equation 3 and the fact that
Q = 2πfoLs/(Rs + Rload) to find in-circuit Q. If Q is not satisfactory pick another value for R1 and repeat the procedure.
