Specification for External Crystal
When using a crystal to drive the Am7992B oscillator,
the following crystal specification should be used to en-
sure a transmit accuracy of 0.01%:
Some crystal manufacturers have generated crystals
to this specification. One such manufacturer is Reeves-
Hoffman. Their ordering part number for this crystal is
RH#04-20423-312. Another manufacturer is Epson—
Part #MA 506-200M-50 pF, which is a surface-
mounted crystal.
Specification for External TTL Level
When driving the oscillator from an external clock
source, X

must be left floating (unconnected). An
external clock having the following characteristics
must be used to ensure less than +0.5 ns jitter at
Transmit+ (see the X

Receiver Path
The principle functions of the receiver are to signal the
LANCE that there is information on the receive pair and
to separate the incoming Manchester-encoded data
stream into clock and NRZ data.
The receiver section (see Figures 4 and 5) consists of
two parallel paths. The receive data path is a zero
threshold, wide bandwidth line receiver. The carrier
path is an offset threshold bandpass-detecting line re-
ceiver. Both receivers share common bias networks to
allow operation over an input common mode range of
0 V to 5.5V.
