ATTENTION:
Abracon Corporation’s products are COTS – Commercial-Off-The-Shelf products; suitable for Commercial, Industrial and, where designated,
Auto
motive Applications. Abracon’s products are not specifically designed for Military, Aviation, Aerospace, Life-dependant Medical applications or any application
requiring high reliability
where component failure could result in loss of life and/or property. For applications requiring high reliability and/or presenting an extreme

• Circuit characterization; providing best possible match between Quartz Crystal, oscillator loop and associated components
• Eliminates probability of oscillator start-up issues related to inadequate design or marginal component performance
• Eliminates production launch issues related to crystal oscillator based timing circuit
• Solves for design margin uncertainty
• Provides customer’s oscillator circuit overview in the form of a detailed report, which could be an ideal 3rd party assessment
for the design history file or PPAP documentation. This report encompasses both the stand-alone crystal performance, as well
as in-circuit behavior outlining safety factor as a function of crystal’s ESR, etc.

ORDERING INFO:
DELIVERABLES:
Abracon provides a detailed test report encompassing:
• Oscillator loop
-
Initial frequency accuracy and drive level as seen by the crystal with measured ESR
-
Worst case projected drive level with maximum specified ESR
-
Safety Factor of the oscillator loop under both typical and maximum ESR
-
Recommendation on proper component selection (C1, C2 & Rs when applicable) for best compromise with
respect to Safety Factor and Frequency accuracy
-
Recommendation on the Abracon Crystal part # with proper plating load and other key attributes to enable the
most robust design, specific to the µcontroller/processor implemented
• Stand alone Quartz Crystal characteristics including:
- Motional parameters (Cm, Lm, ESR &Co)
- Narrow Band Frequency Response Plot
- Wide Band Frequency Response PlotoAdmittance versus Suseptance Plot
- Frequency dependence versus load capacitance plot
