Reducing Power Consumption for 32kHz Quartz Crystal Oscillator Circuit
Abstract
The intent of this investigation is to show the advantages of 32kHz crystals with reduced CL and lower ESR over conventional 32kHz crystals with regard to power consumption, oscillation allowance, starting time and drive level.
The following draft confirms the advantage of the use of Geyer Electronic KX-327NHT with Load Capacitance of 7pF instead of 12,5pF.
Part number 12.87153 7pF +/-20ppm ≤ 80k Ohm, 50k Ohm typ.
Part number 12.87148 7pF +/-20ppm ≤ 50k Ohm, 35k Ohm typ.
– Considerably reduced Power Consumption
– Improved Start up Performance
– Faster Start up time
– Stable operation for lower drive level
