2.2 24-MHz and 48-MHz Crystal Control Loop

TI intends the amplitude control loop to regulate the amplitude of the oscillations of the crystal for optimal performance. The following are the two primary portions of the control loop:

  • Start-up: The control loop injects as much current as possible into the oscillator that drives the crystal resonator to reduce the startup time. Once the amplitude reaches the desired value, the current is reduced to a steady state level.
  • Steady state regulation: The amplitude of the crystal oscillator can be regulated in a steady state manner if required.

To turn on the crystal so that the radio can operate, start-up is required. Steady state amplitude regulation is not required for the crystal or radio to function.
