CWX823-016.384M Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the CWX823-016.384M?
  A good PCB layout for the CWX823-016.384M involves keeping the crystal and capacitors close to the oscillator pins, using a ground plane under the device, and minimizing trace lengths and widths to reduce noise and parasitic inductance.
• How do I ensure the CWX823-016.384M oscillator starts up reliably?
  To ensure reliable startup, make sure the power supply is stable and within the recommended range, the crystal is properly mounted and connected, and the oscillator capacitors are of high quality and correctly valued.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the CWX823-016.384M?
  The CWX823-016.384M is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C, but it's essential to consider the crystal's temperature range and stability when designing the oscillator circuit.
• Can I use the CWX823-016.384M with a different crystal frequency?
  While the CWX823-016.384M is designed for 16.384 MHz, it's possible to use it with other frequencies, but this may require adjustments to the oscillator circuit, such as changing the capacitor values or using a different crystal. Consult the manufacturer or a qualified engineer for guidance.
• How do I troubleshoot issues with the CWX823-016.384M oscillator?
  Common issues include incorrect capacitor values, poor PCB layout, or inadequate power supply. Use an oscilloscope to verify the oscillator output, check the power supply and crystal connections, and consult the datasheet and application notes for guidance.
