5.9Clock Circuit

LAN9420/LAN9420i can accept either a 25MHz crystal (preferred) or a 25MHz single-ended clock oscillator (+/- 50ppm) input. If the single-ended clock oscillator method is implemented, XO should be left unconnected and XI should be driven with a nominal 0-3.3V clock signal. The input clock duty cycle is 40% minimum, 50% typical and 60% maximum.

It is recommended that a crystal utilizing matching parallel load capacitors be used for the crystal input/output signals (XI/XO). See Table 5.13 for the recommended crystal specifications.

Note 5.17 The maximum allowable values for Frequency Tolerance and Frequency Stability are application dependant. Since any particular application must meet the IEEE +/-50 PPM Total PPM Budget, the combination of these two values must be approximately +/-45 PPM (allowing for aging).

Note 5.18 Frequency Deviation Over Time is also referred to as Aging.

Note 5.19 The total deviation for the Transmitter Clock Frequency is specified by IEEE 802.3u as +/- 50 PPM.

Note 5.20 0oC for commercial version, -40oC for industrial version.

Note 5.21 +70oC for commercial version, +85oC for industrial version.

Note 5.22 This number includes the pad, the bond wire and the lead frame. PCB capacitance is not included in this value. The XO/XI pin and PCB capacitance values are required to accurately calculate the value of the two external load capacitors. These two external load capacitors determine the accuracy of the 25.000 MHz frequency.
