PRODUCTION DATA
When the CDCEx949 is used as a crystal buffer, crystal oscillator start-up dominates the start-up time compared to the internal PLL lock time. The following diagram shows the oscillator start-up sequence for a 27MHz crystal input with an 8pF load. The start-up time for the crystal is in the order of approximately 250µs compared to approximately 10µs of lock time. In general, lock time is an order of magnitude less compared to the crystal start-up time.
