MAX7377
Silicon Oscillator with Low-Power
Frequency Switching
General Description
Features
● 2.7V to 5.5V Operation
The MAX7377 dual-speed silicon oscillator with reset is
a replacement for ceramic resonators, crystals, crystal
oscillator modules, and discrete reset circuits. The device
provides the primary and secondary clock source for
microcontrollers in 3V, 3.3V, and 5V applications. The
MAX7377 features a factory-programmed high-speed
oscillator, a 32.768kHz oscillator, and a clock selec-
tor input. The clock output can be switched at any time
between the high-speed clock and the 32.768kHz clock
for low-power operation. Switchover is synchronized inter-
nally to provide glitch-free clock switching.
● Accurate High-Speed 600kHz to 10MHz Oscillator
● Accurate Low-Speed 32kHz Oscillator
● Glitch-Free Switch Between High Speed and Low
Speed at Any Time
● ±10mA Clock-Output Drive Capability
● 2% Initial Accuracy
● ±50ppm/°C Temperature Coefficient
● 50% Duty Cycle
Unlike typical crystal and ceramic resonator oscillator
circuits, the MAX7377 is resistant to vibration and EMI.
The high-output-drive current and absence of highimped-
ance nodes make the oscillator less susceptible to dirty
or humid operating conditions. With a wide operating
temperature range as standard, the MAX7377 is a good
choice for demanding home appliance and industrial
environments.
● 5ns Output Rise and Fall Time
● Low Jitter: 160ps
at 8MHz (No PLL)
(P-P)
● 3mA Fast-Mode Operating Current (8MHz)
● 13μA Slow-Mode Operating Current (32kHz)
● -40°C to +125°C Temperature Range
The MAX7377 is available in factory-programmed fre-
quencies from 32.768kHz to 10MHz. See Table 1 for
standard frequencies and contact the factory for custom
frequencies.
