14-stage binary ripple counter with oscillator
14. RC oscillator
14.1 Timing component limitations
The oscillator frequency is mainly determined by Rt Ct, provided R2 2Rt and R2 C2
is much less than Rt Ct. The function of R2 is to minimize the influence of the forward
voltage across the input protection diodes on the frequency. The stray capacitance C2
should be kept as small as possible. In consideration of accuracy, Ct must be larger than
the inherent stray capacitance. Rt must be larger than the ‘ON’ resistance in series with it,
which typically is 280 at VCC = 1.2 V, 130 at VCC = 2.0 V and 100 at VCC 3.0 V. The
recommended values for these components to maintain agreement with the typical
oscillation formula are: Ct > 50 pF, up to any practical value, 10 k < Rt < 1 M. In order
to avoid start-up problems, Rt 1 k.
