Silicon Oscillator with Reset Output
General Description
The MAX7376 silicon oscillator with reset, is a replace-
ment for ceramic resonators, crystals, crystal oscillator
modules, and discrete reset circuits. The MAX7376 pro-
vides the primary clock source and reset function for
microcontrollers in 3V, 3.3V, and 5V applications. The
MAX7376 features a factory-programmed high-speed
oscillator and a microprocessor (µP) power-on-reset
(POR) supervisor.
Unlike typical crystal and ceramic resonator oscillator
circuits, the MAX7376 is resistant to vibration and EMI.
The high-output-drive current and absence of high-
impedance nodes make the oscillator less susceptible
to dirty or humid operating conditions. With a wide
operating temperature range as standard, the MAX7376
is a good choice for demanding home appliance,
industrial, and automotive environments.
The MAX7376 is available in factory-programmed fre-
quencies from 32.768kHz to 10MHz. See Table 2 for
standard frequencies and contact the factory for cus-
tom frequencies.
The MAX7376 is available in a 5-pin SOT23 package.
Refer to the MAX7382 data sheet for frequencies
≥10MHz.
The MAX7376 standard operating tempera-
ture range is -40°C to +125°C. See the
Applications
Information
section for the extended operating temper-
ature range.

FUNCTION
MAX7376
Detailed Description
The MAX7376 is a clock generator with integrated reset
for µCs and UARTs in 3V, 3.3V, and 5V applications
(Figure 1). The MAX7376 is a replacement for crystal
oscillator modules, crystals, or ceramic resonators and
a system-reset IC. The clock frequency is factory
trimmed to specific values. A variety of popular stan-
dard frequencies are available (Table 2). No external
components are required for setting or adjusting the
frequency.
Oscillator
The clock output is a push-pull configuration and is
capable of driving a ground-connected 500Ω or a posi-
tive-supply-connected 250Ω load to within 400mV of
either supply rail. The clock output remains stable over
the full operating voltage range and does not generate
short output cycles during either power-on or power-off.
A typical startup characteristic is shown in the
Typical
Operating Characteristics.
Applications Information
Interfacing to a µC Clock Input
The MAX7376 clock output is a push-pull, CMOS, logic
output that directly drives any µP or µC clock input.
There are no impedance-matching issues when using
the MAX7376. The MAX7376 is not sensitive to its posi-
tion on the board and it does not need to be placed right
next to the µP. Refer to the µC data sheet for clock-input
compatibility with external clock signals. The MAX7376
requires no biasing components or load capacitance.
When using the MAX7376 to retrofit a crystal oscillator,
remove all biasing components from the oscillator input.
Supply Voltage
The MAX7376 has been designed for use in systems
with nominal supply voltages of 3V, 3.3V, or 5V and is
specified for operation with supply voltages in the 2.7V
to 5.5V range. See the
Absolute Maximum Ratings
sec-
tion for limit values of power-supply and pin voltages.

CC
RST Reset Output Options
The MAX7376 is available with three reset output stage
options: push-pull with active-low output, push-pull with
active-high output, and open drain with active-low out-
put. The RST output is asserted when the monitored
input (V
CC
) drops below the internal V
TH-
threshold and
remains asserted for 100µs after the monitored input
exceeds the internal V
TH+
threshold. The open-drain
RST output requires an external pullup resistor.

Output Jitter
The MAX7376’s jitter performance is given in the
Electrical Characteristics
table as a peak-to-peak value
obtained by observing the output of the MAX7376 for
20s with a 500MHz oscilloscope. Jitter values are
approximately proportional to the period of the output
frequency of the device. Thus, a 4MHz part has
approximately twice the jitter value of an 8MHz part.
The jitter performance of clock sources degrades in the
presence of mechanical and electrical interference.
