Quartz Clock Oscillator Design and Analysis
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Engineers at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) have used quartz - based clock oscillators in various missions since the 1980s. As such, the design of these frequency control devices requires a high degree of reliability and producibility. The quartz clock oscillators designed at SNL have evolved over many years and are currently developed in house and fabricated using SNLs internal CMOS foundry. They are designed to operate in harsh environments, including temperature, radiation, shock and vibration. This report documents the methodology behind the design of quartz clock oscillators developed at SNL and includes an overview of quartz resonator technology and usage guidelines and a detailed overview of oscillator circuits.
