OSCILLATOR AND EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
The oscillator circuit of uPSD33xx devices is a sin-
gle stage, inverting amplifier in a Pierce oscillator
configuration. The internal circuitry between pins
XTAL1 and XTAL2 is basically an inverter biased
to the transfer point. Either an external quartz crys-
tal or ceramic resonator can be used as the feed-
back element to complete the oscillator circuit.
Both are operated in parallel resonance. Ceramic
resonators are lower cost, but typically have a wid-
er frequency tolerance than quartz crystals. Alter-
natively, an external clock source from an
oscillator or other active device may drive the
uPSD33xx oscillator circuit input directly, instead
of using a crystal or resonator.
The minimum frequency of the quartz crystal, ce-
ramic resonator, or external clock source is 1MHz
if the I2C interface is not used. The minimum is
8MHz if I2C is used. The maximum is 40MHz in all
cases. This frequency is fOSC, which can be divid-
ed internally as described in MCU CLOCK
GENERATION, page 46.
The pin XTAL1 is the high gain amplifier input, and
XTAL2 is the output. To drive the uPSD33xx de-
vice externally from an oscillator or other active
device, XTAL1 is driven and XTAL2 is left open-
circuit. This external source should drive a logic
low at the voltage level of 0.3 VCC or below, and
logic high at 0.7V VCC or above, up to 5.5V VCC.
The XTAL1 input is 5V tolerant.
Most of the quartz crystals in the range of 25MHz
to 40MHz operate in the third overtone frequency
mode. An external LC tank circuit at the XTAL2
output of the oscillator circuit is needed to achieve
the third overtone frequency, as shown in Figure
15., page 52. Without this LC circuit, the crystal
will oscillate at a fundamental frequency mode that
is about 1/3 of the desired overtone frequency.
Note: In Figure 15., page 52 crystals which are
specified to operate in fundamental mode (not
overtone mode) do not need the LC circuit compo-
nents. Since quartz crystals and ceramic resona-
tors have their own characteristics based on their
manufacturer, it is wise to also consult the manu-
facturer’s recommended values for external com-
ponents.
