Failure Cases
Failure case 1: Non-oscillation
There is a possibility of non-oscillation mainly in the following cases
1.When negative resistance is insufficient
As a related matter, please refer to "What is Negative resistance (1)<Overview and Target Values of NDK>".
2.When there is no appropriate feedback resistor (Rf) in the circuit
If a feedback resistor (Rf) is built into the IC, it is unnecessary to have an external feedback resistor (Rf) as shown in Fig. 1.
3.When the unit is operated to outside of the temperature range specified by the crystal unit or IC.
4.When parts are not mounted properly in the circuit
Failure Case 2: Deviation of the oscillation frequency
In the following cases, oscillation may not occur at the proper oscillation frequency.
1. When there is a large difference between the circuit load capacity and the load capacity specification of the crystal unit.
As a related matter, please refer to the difference of oscillation frequency (3) <improvement method>.
2.When temperature characteristics of the crystal unit are not considered
As a related matter, please Refer to Temperature Characteristics (1) <Difference in Oscillation Frequency>
3.When parts are not mounted properly in the circuit
Failure Case 3: Oscillation does not occur in normal mode
3.This is a case of "it is necessary to oscillate with a fundamental wave, but it oscillates with a third-order overtone."
For details, refer to "What is Negative Resistance (5) <Tertiary Overtone Characteristics>
