LT1671 UUWUAPPLICATIONS INFORMATION Crystal OscillatorsSwitchable Output Crystal Oscillator Figure 7 shows a crystal oscillator circuit. In the circuit, the Figure 8 permits crystals to be electronically switched by resistors at the LT1671’s positive input set a DC bias point. logic commands. This circuit is similar to the previous The 2k-0.068µF path sets up phase shifted feedback and examples, except that oscillation is only possible when the circuit looks like a wideband unity-gain follower at DC. one of the logic inputs is biased high. The crystal’s path provides resonant positive feedback and stable oscillation occurs.
