Oscillation Circuit Evaluation Methods

What is "Startup Time" (2) <Measuring method>

Overview: Obtain the startup data of the oscillator circuit with a voltage probe of low capacitance/high impedance voltage probe and read it with an oscilloscope.


<Measurement procedure>

-1 Contact the tip of a voltage probe with low capacitance/high impedance (using a FET probe in NDK) to the measurement point (input terminal of the target oscillator circuit).
-2 Connect the FET probe to the oscilloscope input channel.
-3 Set the oscilloscope trigger level appropriately so that the startup waveform can be obtained.
-4 Apply a predetermined voltage to the target oscillation circuit and start oscillation (start-up waveform is acquired immediately after the start of oscillation).
-5 Read the startup time from the startup waveform (refer to What is "Startup TimeImprovement method (1) ).


Fig. 1 shows an example of the state immediately after the measurement procedure (5).
