The Pierce-type resonant crystal oscillator in Figure 1 was designed to run off two series-connected 1.5-V batteries and reliably start at a supply voltage as low as 2.4 V. Tests had previously ...

The tool generates a sample schematic, although [Craig] deleted it and put his own design into the simulator. By running simulations, he was able to look at the oscillator’s performance.

2. This basic test circuit is a Pierce-gate oscillator, which provides readout of crystal frequency. There are two resistor adjustments (POT1 and POT2) for optimal performance, which is a function ...
