The oscillator is capable of sustaining oscillation beyond 200MHz in
crystal or tuned tank configurations. The upper limit of operation is
determined by tank “Q” and required drive levels. The higher the
“Q” of the tank or the smaller the required drive, the higher the
permissible oscillation frequency. If the required LO is beyond
oscillation limits, or the system calls for an external LO, the external
signal can be injected at Pin 6 through a DC blocking capacitor.
External LO should be at least 200mV
Figure 7 shows several proven oscillator circuits. Figure 7a is
appropriate for cellular radio. As shown, an overtone mode of
operation is utilized. Capacitor C3 and inductor L1 suppress
oscillation at the crystal fundamental frequency. In the fundamental
mode, the suppression network is omitted.
Figure 8 shows a Colpitts varactor tuned tank oscillator suitable for
synthesizer-controlled applications. It is important to buffer the

output of this circuit to assure that switching spikes from the first
counter or prescaler do not end up in the oscillator spectrum. The
dual-gate MOSFET provides optimum isolation with low current.
The FET offers good isolation, simplicity, and low current, while the
bipolar transistors provide the simple solution for non-critical
applications. The resistive divider in the emitter-follower circuit
should be chosen to provide the minimum input signal which will
assure correct system operation.
When operated above 100MHz, the oscillator may not start if the Q
of the tank is too low. A 22k resistor from Pin 7 to ground will
increase the DC bias current of the oscillator transistor. This
improves the AC operating characteristic of the transistor and
should help the oscillator to start. A 22k resistor will not upset the
other DC biasing internal to the device, but smaller resistance
values should be avoided.
