Figure 10 - Crystal Oscillator Circuit
The accuracy of a crystal oscillator depends on the
crystal tolerance as well as the load capacitance
tolerance.
Typically, for a 20MHz crystal specified
with a 32pF load capacitance, each 1pF change in
load capacitance contributes approximately 9ppm to
the frequency deviation.

effect on the accuracy of the oscillator frequency.
Consequently, capacitor

The crystal should be a fundamental mode type - not
an overtone. The fundamental mode crystal permits
a simpler oscillator circuit with no additional filter
components and is less likely to generate spurious
responses. The crystal specification is as follows.

Guard Time Adjustment
AT&T TR62411 recommends that excessive switching
of the timing reference should be minimized. And that
switching between references only be performed when
the primary signal is degraded (e.g., error bursts of 2.5
seconds).
Minimizing switching (from PRI to SEC) in the
MT9042C can be realized by first entering Holdover
Mode for a predetermined maximum time (i.e., guard
time). If the degraded signal returns to normal before
the expiry of the guard time (e.g., 2.5 seconds), then
the MT9042C is returned to its Normal Mode (with no
reference switch taking place).
reference input may be changed from Primary to
Secondary.
Otherwise, the
