1.1 Oscillator Operation

The circuit used as high-accuracy clock source for TI’s low-power RF products is based on a Pierce oscillator as shown in Figure 1-1. There is no on-chip damping resistor and none must be added by the customer. The oscillator circuit consists of an inverting amplifier (shown as an inverter), a feedback resistor, two capacitors, and a crystal. When operating, the crystal and the capacitors form a pi filter that provides an 180-degree phase shift to the internal amplifier, keeping the oscillator locked at the specified frequency.
