Quartz crystals General Introduction
INTRODUCTION
For practical reasons, technical
information on piezoelectric quartz
devices is divided into two handbooks
which have the following titles:
PA10 - Quartz crystals
PA11 - Quartz oscillators.
A quartz crystal consists of a quartz
crystal element with electrodes,
mounted in a hermetically sealed
holder with connecting pins or leads.
Quartz crystals are normally used in
oscillator and filter circuits.
The quartz crystal element is a
vibrating resonant plate which relies
upon the piezoelectric effect to couple
it to electrical circuits. Crystal
elements are normally cut in the form
of plates. The dimensions of these
elements and their orientation with
respect to the axes of the crystal give
the characteristic of the element. The
dimensions are such that the
mechanical resonance frequency
equals the desired electrical
frequency. There are a large number
of crystal cuts but the most
advantageous orientation is the
so-called AT-cut. The frequency
range that can be covered is from 1 to
250 MHz. The crystal element may
vibrate in the fundamental vibration
mode or in the third, fifth or higher
overtone. Special cuts for
temperature sensors used in digital
temperature measurement
equipment, are also available.

The intrinsic properties of quartz
make it a unique device for accurate
and stable frequency control and
selection. As the properties of quartz
(temperature coefficient, ageing, high
Q factor) are very stable, the ultimate
performance of the element is largely
dependent on the environment and
the associated electrical circuits. The
design of an oscillator requires high
technical skill to give the maximum
possible efficiency out of the
connection between the crystal and
the circuit. A range of oscillator
circuits have been designed for all
kinds of applications with an optimum
pack of specifications. It is advised
that any particular application should
be discussed with the crystal
manufacturer at the earliest possible
stage of the design.

ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES AND

Quartz crystal equivalent circuit
The equivalent circuit, which has the
same impedance as the quartz crystal
in the immediate neighbourhood of
resonance, is usually represented by
an inductance, capacitance and
resistance in series, this series
branch being shunted by the
capacitance between the terminals of
the unit. The parameters of the series
branch are usually given by L1, C1
and R1. The parallel capacitance is
given by C0 (see Fig.3).

The parameters of the series branch
are termed the ‘motional parameters’
of the quartz crystal.
The parameter C0 is termed the
‘parallel capacitance’.
The equivalent circuit has two
resonance frequencies at which the
electrical impedance is resistive: the
‘resonance frequency’ (fr) and the
‘anti-resonance frequency’ (fa).
The resistance of the equivalent
circuit at the resonance frequency (fr)
is termed the ‘resonance resistance’
(Rr).

Load capacitance and frequency
pulling
During manufacture, definable limits
are set to the accuracy of frequency.
In an oscillator, a load capacitance
(CL) is required to trim the working
frequency (fw) to the nominal
frequency (fnom). Figure 4 shows the
quartz crystal equivalent circuit with a
load capacitance in series and
parallel. Each combination has two
resonance frequencies at which the
electrical impedance of the circuit is
resistive. The lower of the two
frequencies when the load resistance
is connected in series and the higher
with the load connected in parallel,
are termed ‘load resonance
frequencies’ (fL). At these frequencies
the resistance of the combination with
the load capacitance in series is
termed ‘load resonance resistance’
(RL).

Standard values of load
capacitance
The standard values of load
capacitance for quartz crystals
operating at the fundamental
frequency of the mode are:
15 pF, 20 pF, 30 pF and 50 pF.
Load capacitances of the values 8 pF,
10 pF, 12 pF and 18 pF may also be
used for fundamental mode quartz
crystals.
Note: In some countries 32 pF is still
in use, but this value should not be
considered a standard value and its
use is not recommended.
In special cases, load capacitance
values of 5 pF upwards are available
in a narrow distribution.
Overtone quartz crystals are often
operated at series resonance. Where
a load capacitance is used, it should
be chosen from the above mentioned
values.
Pulling Sensitivity (S)
The pulling sensitivity expressed in
ppm/pF is a good measure for the
frequency sensitivity as a function of
load capacitance variations at the
working frequency. Figure 5
illustrates the load capacitance, for
two quartz crystals having different C1
and C0 values it should be noted that
a tolerance of 0.5 pF on a 20 pF load
capacitance may lead to an error of
±11 ppm. For low values of CL the
pulling sensitivity is increased, which
means that the frequency is more
strongly dependent on the external
parameters of the oscillating circuit.

Quartz crystals General Introduction
Level of drive
The power dissipated in a quartz
crystal is termed ‘level of drive’ and is
usually expressed in mW. In the level
of drive range 1012 to 104W the
drive level dependency of the crystal
characteristics is almost negligible.
For drive levels greater than
approximately 0.1 mW, the crystal
characteristics tend to change. For
this reason the crystal characteristics
are specified at drive levels of
0.05 mW to 0.5 mW depending on the
crystal type.
Low drive levels
When a quartz crystal oscillator is
switched on, there will initially be
some noise in the circuit. The noise
power, which depends on the circuit
design and on the components used,
will be in the region of 1016 W. From
this level, the oscillatory power builds
up in the quartz crystal, passing
through a power range of
approximately 12 decades to its
maximum value. At the extremely low
power levels that occur during build
up of oscillation, the resonance
resistance (Rr) may increase slightly.
The quartz crystal oscillator should,
therefore, have sufficient loop gain to
avoid start-up problems. Typically, a
negative resistance of three times the
specified Rr(max) value is sufficient.
High drive levels
For applications requiring high
stability, a drive level between 5 µW
and 100 µW should be used. Drive
levels exceeding 0.5 µW should be
avoided, and excessively high drive
levels (exceeding 5 mW) may
seriously affect the quartz crystal's
behaviour (see Fig. 9).
Frequency/temperature
characteristics
The frequency drift as a function of
temperature can be represented by a
graph showing the temperature
coefficient (TC) curve or drift
characteristic. In the case of AT cuts,
the relation of drift and temperature is
approximated by a cubic curve; the
drift characteristic of most other cuts
is parabolic.
Figure 7 shows a number of
frequency-temperature curves
obtained from AT-cut crystals with
various angles of cut from 4' to
+16' increasing angle of cut). The
curves are symmetrical with respect
to approximately +27 °C.
A temperature range which is fairly
symmetrical with respect to 27 °C
(e.g. 0 to 60 °C) will, therefore, result
in the smallest frequency drift in that
range. A small frequency drift over a
wide temperature range, e.g. 40 to
+80 °C, will result in a fairly steep
temperature coefficient at room
temperature.
Advantages of all-glass holders
Quartz crystals with all-glass holders
show the following advantages over
those with metal holders:
1. A lower ageing rate.
2. A lower series resistance, which
also means a higher Q-factor,
due to the fact that glass holders
are evacuated giving less
mechanical damping.
3. Better performance under
adverse climatic conditions.
4. Smaller adjusting tolerances.
Ageing
A gradual change in resonance
frequency with time is called (an
effect of) ageing. Only where very
good long-term stability is required
should ageing be of consequence.
It should be borne in mind that (with a
view to ageing only):
1. Quartz crystals with an all-glass
holder have a lower ageing rate
than metal sealed crystals.
2. Low frequency crystals are
preferred to high frequency
crystals.
3. Overtone crystals are preferred to
fundamental crystals for the same
frequency.
Crystal behaviour in an oscillator
In the vicinity of resonance, the
impedance of a quartz crystal can be
represented by a circle (see Fig.8).
The circle is shifted downwards with
respect to the resistance axis over:
(9)
When a load capacitance is
connected in series with the quartz
crystal the shift is X0 + XL, where
(10)
The difference between
anti-resonance frequency and
resonance frequency
(11)
is assumed to be 100%.
It can be seen that the difference
between the two frequencies,
determined by the phase angle ϕ,
disappears at fw = 50%. The phase
angle in the oscillator should be kept
sufficiently small to avoid quartz
crystal operation in the uncertain area
above 50% (frequency switching).

drive level (mW)
(ppm)
Quartz crystals for frequencies higher
than 100 to 125 MHz (depending on
type) have an impedance circle with a
greater downwards shift, even to
below the real axis. When the figure
of merit given by
(12)
is less than approximately 5, the
resonance frequency (fr) is arbitrary.
Indications for use
Keep phase deviations in the circuit
sufficiently low to avoid quartz crystal
operation in the 50% working
frequency area, in particular when
phase variation is used for frequency
pulling (PLL system).
Ensure that the amplification is
sufficiently high, particularly when
applying phase variation.
Keep quartz crystal drive level low
(generally 0.5 mW; preferably
0.1 mW), (see Fig.9).

MEASURING PROCEDURES
Several methods of measuring quartz
crystals are in use. Because different
methods may give various results,
refer to the test block diagram of
Fig.10.
This is the passive method with
π-network in accordance with
IEC publication 444. The accuracy of
reproduction of theπ-network method
ranges between 106 and 108 for
frequency measurements, depending
on the type of quartz crystal to be
measured.
Passive method with π-network
(IEC 444)
The principle of this method is very
simple. With the equipment shown in
Fig.10, a stable signal source
(frequency synthesizer) is adjusted to
the frequency at which the signal has
zero phase change when passing
through the crystal, as measured by
the phase meter; this frequency
(measured with the frequency
counter) is then the resonance
frequency of the crystal.
For ease of operation, it is possible to
phase-lock the system by feeding
back the analogue output of the
phase error (from zero) to control the
precise frequency of the signal source
(AFC loop shown by dashed line).
Measuring methods can also be
applied by using the following
equipment if it is available:
SAUNDERS Test Set,
type 150 (A, B, C).
Crystal Test Set, type TS193A
(British Military Standard).
Crystal Impedance Meter

Aπ-network test jig is used to connect

quartz crystal.

The function of the input and output
‘pads’ is twofold:
1. To match the crystal impedance
to the associated equipment.
2. To attenuate reflections from the
associated equipment.
For further information consult IEC
recommendations, Publication 444.
Crystal shielding
Depending on the application, crystal
shielding may give rise to frequency
deviations, in particular for
fundamental mode quartz crystals
with a considerable pulling sensitivity.
In our procedure the metal enclosure
of the quartz crystal is normally not
earthed. If, in special cases, earthing
is required this should be mentioned
in the specification for ordering.

Quartz crystals General Introduction
MOUNTING
Quartz crystals provided with pins
(such as HC-6/U, HC-27/U, HC-29/U
and HC-50/U) are for mounting in
sockets.
Quartz crystals with leads are for
mounting on printed-circuit boards.
There are basically two methods:
horizontal and vertical mounting.
Horizontal (flat) mounting gives better
mechanical stability whilst vertical
mounting uses less printed-circuit
board space. To prevent permanent
damage of quartz crystals during
mounting operations, some
precautions have to be taken:
Glass feed-throughs are rather
vulnerable so avoid excessive
forces on the leads which can
cause breakage. If cutting of the
leads is necessary, use suitable
tools to prevent shock waves in the
leads.
If bending of the leads is necessary
e.g. in the event of flat mounting,
make the bend at least 2 mm away
from the body with a bending radius
>0.5 mm.
Note that, especially when the
component is vertically mounted,
the first mm of tinned leads away
from the body are not guaranteed
for use. When mounting on thin
printed-circuit boards (e.g.
0.7 mm), the use of spacers is
recommended.
Specially designed for surface
mounting, there are two constructions
in HC-45/U-SMD and HC-49/U-SMD.
All crystal types are designed such
that they withstand all commonly
used soldering techniques, see
Chapter
“Tests and requirements”
in
the individual data sheets. Exposing
the crystal units to high temperatures
for a prolonged time, however, should
be avoided.
For utmost mechanical stability and
electrical reproducibility, metal types
can be supplied with a third (top) lead
which serves both as a ground wire
and a three-point attachment to the
printed circuit board.
QUARTZ CRYSTAL UNITS AS
DIGITAL TEMPERATURE
SENSORS
The most well known applications of
quartz crystal units are those where
the crystal is used in oscillator and
filter circuits, as a frequency-selective
element with an extremely high
Q-factor. By correct choice of the
cutting angle of the vibrating plate, it
is possible to obtain a very low TC
over a limited temperature range.
Examples of such crystal cuts are:
AT, BT, CT and GT cuts.
In addition, it is also possible to cut
crystal plates so that the resonance
frequency is an almost linear function
of the temperature. It should be
noted, that the first quartz crystal cut
to be discovered was in fact a ‘Y- cut’.
However, there are some
disadvantages which make this cut
unsuitable for temperature sensing,
therefore special cuts have been
introduced, depending on the
application.
How to use a quartz crystal unit as
a temperature sensor
In order to measure temperatures
with a quartz crystal sensor, the
device should be connected to an
oscillator circuit which usually
consists of one or two transistors or
an integrated circuit. The oscillator
will produce an output signal whose
frequency will change by
40 to +80 x 106/K, depending on
the cutting angle. There are several
ways of processing this signal. Due to
excellent stability, low ageing and its
'digital' nature, resolutions of 0.001 K
are easily achieved without noise
problems. This renders the device
especially suitable for measurements
of very small temperature differences
as in distillation columns and flow
meters.
