And adding an IC inside the package constitutes a crystal element of the oscillating circuit called a crystal oscillator. The products are generally encapsulated with a metal shell, and also encapsulated with a glass shell, ceramic or plastic.
The crystal oscillator can be electrically equivalent to a two-end network of a capacitor and a resistor which are connected in parallel and then connected in series, the network has two resonance points in electroengineering, and the lower frequency is series resonance and the higher frequency is parallel resonance in the high-low frequency. Because the characteristics of the crystal itself cause the distance between the two frequencies to be quite close, in the extremely narrow frequency range, the crystal oscillator is equivalent to an inductor, so that the crystal oscillator can form a parallel resonant circuit as long as the two ends of the crystal oscillator are connected in parallel with proper capacitors. The parallel resonant circuit can be added into a negative feedback circuit to form a sine wave oscillating circuit, and the frequency of the oscillator does not change greatly even if the parameters of other elements change greatly because the frequency range of the crystal oscillator equivalent as an inductor is narrow.
The conventional crystal oscillator driving circuit is shown in fig. 1, and comprises 3 PMOS transistors (MP 1-MP 3), 3 NMOS transistors (MN 1-MN 3), MP2 and MN2 connected in series, MP3 and MN3 connected in series, the gates of MP1, MP2 and MP3 connected together and short-circuited with the drain of MP2, MP1 and MN1 connected in series through a resistor R1, the gate of MN1 connected with the drain of MP1, the gate of MN2 connected with the drain of MN1, and the gate of MN3 connected with the crystal oscillator and connected with the drain of MP3 through a resistor Rf.
The crystal oscillator oscillation signal outputs forward and reverse clock signals through an operational amplifier.
The driving circuit is characterized in that:
if the bias current is small, the circuit is started slowly; if the bias current is large, current waste is caused after the stabilization.
The aspect ratio of MN2 is N times that of MN1, and current I is generated on R1 B =(kT/q)*lnN/R1;
Wherein K is the Boltzmann constant T, and q is the temperature.
The amplifier AMP amplifies the signals of X1 and X2 to power supply ground.
