PLL), there still may be applications in which overall
performance is being degraded due to system power supply
noise. The power supply filter and bypass schemes discussed
in this section should be adequate to eliminate power supply
noise related problems in most designs.

Using the On-Board Crystal Oscillator
The MPC9229 features a fully integrated on-board crystal
oscillator to minimize system implementation costs. The
oscillator is a series resonant, multivibrator type design as
opposed to the more common parallel resonant oscillator
design. The series resonant design provides better stability and
eliminates the need for large on chip capacitors. The oscillator
is totally self contained so that the only external component
required is the crystal. As the oscillator is somewhat sensitive to
loading on its inputs the user is advised to mount the crystal as
close to the MPC9229 as possible to avoid any board level
parasitics. To facilitate co-location surface mount crystals are
recommended, but not required. Because the series resonant
design is affected by capacitive loading on the xtal terminals
loading variation introduced by crystals from different vendors
could be a potential issue. For crystals with a higher shunt
capacitance, it may be required to place a resistance across the
terminals to suppress the third harmonic. Although typically not
required, it is a good idea to layout the PCB with the provision
of adding this external resistor. The resistor value will typically
be between 500 and 1 K
.
The oscillator circuit is a series resonant circuit and thus for
optimum performance a series resonant crystal should be used.
Unfortunately most crystals are characterized in a parallel
resonant mode. Fortunately there is no physical difference
between a series resonant and a parallel resonant crystal. The
difference is purely in the way the devices are characterized. As
a result a parallel resonant crystal can be used with the
MPC9229 with only a minor error in the desired frequency. A
parallel resonant mode crystal used in a series resonant circuit
will exhibit a frequency of oscillation a few hundred ppm lower
than specified, a few hundred ppm translates to kHz
inaccuracies. In a general computer application this level of
inaccuracy is immaterial. Table 11 below specifies the
performance requirements of the crystals to be used with the
MPC9229.
