CX2415X Interactive TV Development Platform Application NoteCX2415X Applications Information2.6 CX2415X Crystal InterfaceThe CX2415X can be utilized with a variety of crystals and crystal oscillators. Fundamental or third overtone crystals can be attached directly to the CX2415X. Alternatively a fundamental 10.111MHz or 12.238MHz crystal can be attached to the CX24109 and a clock from the CX24109 can drive the CX2415X crystal input pin.

The specific crystal frequencies to be used with the CX2415X will not be specified until revision B silicon has been received and evaluated. Several frequency choices will be evaluated including: 10.111MHz, 12.238MHz, 16.317Mhz, 40.444MHz, and 48.952MHz.

Systems not utilizing the internal channel 3/4 modulator should use a 10.111MHz crystal, either attached directly to the CX2415X, or attached to the CX24109 device in systems so equipped. Systems utilizing the internal channel 3/4 modulator will end up using one of the five crystal frequencies listed above, the specific frequency to be determined by Conexant Systems, Inc., following revision B CX2415X silicon validation.

A 10.111MHz fundamental mode crystal attached to the CX24109, with the CX24109 supplying the clock signal to operate the CX2415X provides the lowest overall system cost. But for systems utilizing the internal RF modulator, Signal/Noise performance requirements may dictate that the crystal be attached directly to the CX2415X device, resulting in a need for two crystals in systems using the CX24109. This requirement will be clarified following revision B CX2415X silicon validation.

2.6.1 Crystal CircuitsFundamental crystals generally provide better performance than 3rd overtone crystals, and they eliminate the problems associated with the tank circuit which is required when using 3rd overtone crystals. If a third overtone crystal is placed in a circuit like Figure2-21, the circuit will have a undesirable tendency to oscillate at the crystal’s fundamental mode, since the circuit naturally has higher gain at the fundamental. Therefore, a tank circuit like that used in Figure2-22 is used to suppress oscillation at the fundamental frequency. The tank circuit used to suppress the fundamental generally loads the oscillator slightly, and impairs the gain, startup and final envelope amplitude. The crystals used in the CX2415X should be specified based on a 10pF standard load capacitance, and should have at least 50ppm tolerance in NTSC applications, and 25ppm or better tolerance for PAL/SECAM applications. Figure2-21 and Figure2-22 illustrate the crystal circuits for fundamental and third overtone respectively.

When driving the crystal oscillator with external clock circuit, it is necessary to use some external components to make sure the DC operating point in the oscillator is preserved. Figure2-23 illustrates the circuit for using the CX2415X with external drive signal such as an external crystal oscillator.Prel

2.6.2Fundamental Mode Suppression Tank CircuitThe tank circuit used to suppress operation at the fundamental should of course be series resonant at the fundamental with realistic component values. For example, if you choose the inductor to be L=2.7uH, then a realistic capacitance value of about 47pF can be obtained using the series resonant formula to suppress fundamental operation for a 40.444Mhz crystal.

2.6.3Quartz Crystal Model Parameters and how to Measure ThemThe quartz crystal should be modeled with a standard R-L-C, parallel C branch as shown in Figure2-24. The crystal parameters are described in Table2-4.
