CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR INTERCONNECT ARCHITECTURE WITH NOISE IMMUNITY

摘要

An apparatus is provided which comprises: a crystal having an input and an output; a first interconnect line having first and second ends, wherein the first end is coupled to the input; a second interconnect line having first and second ends, wherein the first end is coupled to the output; a first capacitor coupled to the input and ground; and a second capacitor coupled to the second end of the second interconnect line. An apparatus is provided which comprises: a high pass filter; a pair of AC coupling capacitors coupled to the high pass filter; a low pass filter coupled to the pair of AC coupling capacitors; and an analog to digital converter (ADC) coupled to the low pass filter.
