Oscillator Circuit
PT7C4337
The PT7C4337 uses an external 32.768 kHz crystal. Table2 specifies several crystal parameters for the external crystal. The
Block Diagram shows a functional schematic of the oscillator circuit. The startup time is usually less than 1 second when using a
crystal with the specified characteristics.

Note: The crystal, traces, and crystal input pins should be isolated from RF generating signals.
Clock Accuracy
The accuracy of the clock is dependent upon the accuracy of the crystal and the accuracy of the match between the capacitive
load of the oscillator circuit and the capacitive load for which the crystal was trimmed. Crystal frequency drift caused by
temperature shifts creates additional error. External circuit noise coupled into the oscillator circuit can result in the clock running
fast. Figure 1 shows a typical PC board layout for isolating the crystal and oscillator from noise.
