Abstract: Many industrial/scientific/medical (ISM) band radio frequency (RF) products use crystal Oscillators to generate areference for the phase-locked loop (PLL)-based local oscillator (LO). This tutorial provides a basic description of theISM-RF Crystal Calculator, which can be used to calculate various impacts on crystal frequency accuracy and startupmargin for such an LO.
In this paper, two types of MMIC voltage controlled Oscillators have been successfully demonstrated. The first chip with single tuning diode shows the excellent tuning linearity. The second chip with two tuning diodes can improve the tuning bandwidth.
AVR32801: UC3A3 Schematic Checklist Features • Power circuit • Reset circuit • USB connection • External bus interface • ABDAC sound DAC interface • JTAG and Nexus debug ports • Clocks and crystal Oscillators • MMC, SD-card, SDHC, SDIO and CE-ATA interface 1 Introduction A good hardware design comes from a proper schematic. Since UC3A3 devices have a fair number of pins and functions, the schematic for these devices can be large and quite complex. This application note describes a common checklist which should be used when starting and reviewing the schematics for a UC3A3 design.
<Almost since the introduction of microcontrollers as electronic components there always has been an oscillatorcircuit on the device to make it work. From application point of view only some external components wererequired to make it work. However, to make sure that it will always work required more effort. This report is basedon feedback from the market from customers applying 8-bit mircrocontrollers.>
Oscillators are key building blocks in integrated transceivers. In wired and
wireless communication terminals, the receiver front-end selects, amplifies and
converts the desired high-frequency signal to baseband. At baseband the signal can
then be converted into the digital domain for further data processing and demodula-
tion. The transmitter front-end converts an analog baseband signal to a suitable high-
frequency signal that can be transmitted over the wired or wireless channel.
