ASTMK06-32.768kHz-LQ-T - ABRACON

ASTMK06-32.768kHz-LQ-T Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for this crystal oscillator?
  Abracon recommends a layout with a ground plane underneath the oscillator, and keeping the traces as short as possible to minimize noise and interference. A recommended layout is available in the Abracon application note AN-04.
• How do I handle the oscillator's start-up time?
  The start-up time for the ASTMK06-32.768KHZ-LQ-T is typically around 2-3 seconds. Engineers should ensure that their system design takes this into account and allows for sufficient time for the oscillator to stabilize before using its output.
• What is the operating temperature range for this oscillator?
  The ASTMK06-32.768KHZ-LQ-T has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Engineers should ensure that their system design operates within this range to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the oscillator's output frequency is accurate?
  To ensure the oscillator's output frequency is accurate, engineers should use a high-quality crystal, ensure the PCB layout is correct, and minimize noise and interference in the system. Additionally, the oscillator's output frequency can be trimmed using an external capacitor.
• What is the recommended power supply decoupling for this oscillator?
  Abracon recommends using a 10uF capacitor in parallel with a 100nF capacitor to decouple the power supply. This helps to filter out noise and ensure stable operation.
