Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A Pierce oscillator uses a quartz crystal rated at 20 MHz. If you want to design a circuit where you can have the output frequency oscillating slightly around this value, describe how you would implement this.
💡 Hint: Consider the effect of loading on the frequency.
Discuss the overall impact of component tolerance on the performance of a Pierce oscillator. What are the consequences of poor component quality?
💡 Hint: Think about how variations can affect overall circuit performance.
