8.4.1 Crystal aging correction
8.4 Register Aging_offset
Table 11.
The PCF2129A has an aging offset register Aging_offset to correct the crystal aging
effects
The accuracy of the frequency of a quartz crystal depends on the aging. Crystal suppliers
usually specify the first year aging (typically ±1 ppm, maximum ±3 ppm) and/or the 10
years aging (typically ±5 ppm). The aging offset adds an offset, positive or negative, in the
temperature compensation circuits which allows to correct the aging effect.
The change in ppm per AO[3:0] value is different at different temperatures. At 25 °C, the
aging offset bits allow a frequency correction of typically 1 ppm per AO[3:0] value, from
−7 ppm to +8 ppm.
