Application Section
Crystal Oscillator and Temperature Compensation
Intersil has now integrated the oscillator compensation
circuity on-chip, to eliminate the need for external
components and adjust for crystal drift over-temperature and
enable very high accuracy time keeping (<5ppm drift).
The Intersil RTC family uses an oscillator circuit with on-chip
crystal compensation network, including adjustable
load-capacitance. The only external component required is
the crystal. The compensation network is optimized for
operation with certain crystal parameters which are common
in many of the surface mount or tuning-fork crystals available
today. Table 6 summarizes these parameters.
Table 7 contains some crystal manufacturers and part
numbers that meet the requirements for the Intersil RTC
products.
The turnover-temperature in Table 6 describes the
temperature where the apex of the of the drift vs temperature
curve occurs. This curve is parabolic with the drift increasing
as (T-T0)
turnover-temperature is typically +25°C, and a peak drift of
>110ppm occurs at the temperature extremes of -40 and
+85°C. It is possible to address this variable drift by adjusting
the load capacitance of the crystal, which will result in
predictable change to the crystal frequency. The Intersil RTC
family allows this adjustment over-temperature since the
devices include on-chip load capacitor trimming. This control
is handled by the Analog Trimming Register, or ATR, which

has 6-bits of control. The load capacitance range covered by
the ATR circuit is approximately 3.25pF to 18.75pF, in
0.25pF increments. Note that actual capacitance would also
include about 2pF of package related capacitance. In-circuit
tests with commercially available crystals demonstrate that
this range of capacitance allows frequency control from
+80ppm to -34ppm, using a 12.5pF load crystal.
In addition to the analog compensation afforded by the
adjustable load capacitance, a digital compensation feature
is available for the Intersil RTC family. There are 3-bits
known as the Digital Trimming Register or DTR, and they
operate by adding or skipping pulses in the clock signal. The
range provided is ±30ppm in increments of 10ppm. The
default setting is 0ppm. The DTR control can be used for
coarse adjustments of frequency drift over-temperature or
for crystal initial accuracy correction.
A final application for the ATR control is in-circuit calibration
for high accuracy applications, along with a temperature
sensor chip. Once the RTC circuit is powered up with battery
backup, the IRQ/F
frequency drift is measured. The ATR control is then
adjusted to a setting which minimizes drift. Once adjusted at
a particular temperature, it is possible to adjust at other
discrete temperatures for minimal overall drift, and store the
resulting settings in the EEPROM. Extremely low overall
temperature drift is possible with this method. The Intersil
evaluation board contains the circuitry necessary to
implement this control.
