EXTERNAL CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
CIRCUIT
Either a prepackaged oscillator can be used or a simple
oscillator circuit with TTL gates can be built.
Prepackaged oscillators provide a wide operating
range and better stability. A well-designed crystal
oscillator will provide good performance with TTL
gates. Two types of crystal oscillator circuits can be
used; one with series resonance, or one with parallel
resonance.
resonant oscillator circuit. The circuit is designed to
use the fundamental frequency of the crystal. The
74AS04 inverter performs the 180
° phase shift that a
parallel oscillator requires. The 4.7 k
Ω resistor
provides the negative feedback for stability. The
10 k
Ω potentiometers bias the 74AS04 in the linear
region. This could be used for external oscillator
designs.

OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT
Figure 14-3 shows a series resonant oscillator circuit.
This circuit is also designed to use the fundamental
frequency of the crystal. The inverter performs a 180
°
phase shift in a series resonant oscillator circuit. The
330 k
Ω resistors provide the negative feedback to bias
the inverters in their linear region.

EXTERNAL CLOCK IN
For applications where a clock is already available
elsewhere, users may directly drive the PIC16F627A/
