TMS320F28062: gm / gmcrit specification

Part Number: TMS320F28062


Hi All,

We’re looking into alternatives for a crystal to use with the TMS320F28062FPNT. Originally we had selected the Epson Q22FA23800001xx crystal here, but due to low availability we’re considering the Abracon ABM8AIG-20.000MHZ-12-2Z-T3 and the ECS-200-12-33Q-JES from ECS.

We want to check if the oscillation transconductance is within the specification of the microcontroller. I was trying to calculate whether the new crystal chosen for the TMS320 was suitable, but unfortunately I can’t find the gm or gmcrit data in the datasheet/technical reference manual. Do you have these specifications available?

Regards,

Alen

  • Alen,

       We do not spec Transconductance in the datasheet. We only spec the ESR, Rd and load cap values. Our new datasheets have helpful information on how to choose a crystal. Take a look at page 92 of www.ti.com/lit/sprsp61. Admittedly, this device is made with a different process technology and also employs different pin muxing. However, the crystal oscillator theory and parameters to evaluate for choosing the right crystal also applies to older devices.
