I'd have hoped for some phase noise plots in the datasheet but the jitter specs look nice: http://www.sitime.com/products/datasheets/sit8102/SiT8102LF-REV-1.08-03-12-09.pdf However, while they were announced over two years ago at $1 in qties they haven't made it into Digikey. That's usually a sign for a boutique product: http://www.nsti.org/press/PRshow.html?id=2342 Most of my clients prefer parts to be available at places like Digikey. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

All of them may cause the problem. One CD4060 may differ from another. Although the internal circuit should be the same, they act different and has different specs depending on de manufacturer. If not driven to their limits they're usually compatible. Crystals are made in many types and qualities. You'd have the datasheet of the manufacturer to find out how that particular crystal should be applied. The external circuit depends on both components above. The circuit shown in QRM may be the best for the available components but is rather unusual. The 100k resistor for instance is too low. Seems that 100k is to high a load for the invertor. It should be 1M maybe even more. The capacitors depend on the crystal characteristics. If you don't have the datasheet you can try from 22pF upward to - let's say - 56pF. No reason to use different values for the two of them. When using 12V power supply a series resistor may be necessary to limit the current through the crystal. The 2k2 can be a little too high however. You can try 1k for instance but wait until all other maesures fail. petrus bitbyter

We'll probably use others in the future, too. But it's a bit on the expensive side with a useless divider tacked on. |
