Crystal Selection
The crystal oscillator is designed to drive a fundamental
mode, AT-cut crystal resonator. See Table 4 for recom-
mended crystal specifications. See Figure 3 for external
capacitance connection.
Crystal Input Layout
The crystal, trace, and two external capacitors should
be placed on the board as close as possible to the
MAX3625B’s X_IN and X_OUT pins to reduce crosstalk
of active signals into the oscillator. The example layout
shown in Figure 2 gives approximately 3pF of trace
plus footprint capacitance per side of the crystal. The
dielectric material is FR4 and dielectric thickness of the
reference board is 15 mils. Using a 25MHz crystal and
the capacitor values of C10 = 27pF and C9 = 33pF, the
measured output frequency accuracy is -14ppm at
+25°C ambient temperature.
Interfacing with LVPECL Outputs
The equivalent LVPECL output circuit is given in Figure 7.
These outputs are designed to drive a pair of 50
Ω trans-
mission lines terminated with 50
Ω to V
TT

- 2V. If a
separate termination voltage (V
TT
) is not available, other
termination methods can be used such as shown in
Figures 4 and 5. Unused outputs should be disabled and
may be left open. For more information on LVPECL termi-
nations and how to interface with other logic families, refer
