Clock generator circuit for microcomputers

摘要

The clock signal generator section has a piezo-electric oscillator arrangement as a signal source, and produces an output having a square wave shape with a 1:1 mark to space ratio. The generator has an oscillator 51 coupled to a detector module 52 that determines the stabilisation of the oscillation. The detector connects with an output buffer 53 and a clock buffer 54. The detector module determines when the oscillation is stable, and from this point the output clock signal is generated.
