Re: Crystal oscillator oscillation startup


 

You (Cheng Fei Phung) seem to be grasping at straws with pretty minimal understanding. In your situation, I would disconnect the "crystal" and feed a small transient 1.1MHz signal (say a hundred mV ppk or less) through a small capacitor (few 10s of pF). Verify that the amplifier has the expected operating point and has some actual gain at that frequency. Use a reasonable maximum time step (less than 50ns) and let the simulation run more than a few cycles (10 uS or longer). ?

Once you have an operating amplifier, THEN hook the simulated crystal.

You might actually learn something if you observe the results fully and carefully! AND you convey those observations back to the list, in good detail. Hint: that report might include a full spice circuit with all the supporting models that either fails to operate or operates with some degree of success.

still do not show any oscillatory phenomenon after adding RLC between Q1 and Q2.
