Common crystal resonator drive level summary (Drive level Typical and Maximum) | Xtalong
When talking about drive level, we usually refer to an important electrical parameter of crystal resonators (passive crystal oscillators). Its requirement is to ensure that the crystal starts to oscillate normally, but it cannot be overdriven. In the crystal resonator data sheet, the parameter of drive level will be clearly marked.
The drive level of common crystal resonators is summarized as follows:
The smaller the drive level, the lower the power consumption of the crystal resonator.
