Silicon Oscillator with Reset Output
General Description
The MAX7376 silicon oscillator with reset, is a replacement for ceramic resonators, crystals, crystal oscillator modules, and discrete reset circuits. The MAX7376 provides 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 highimpedance nodes make the oscillator less susceptible to dirty or humid operating conditions.
