This tool was created to make the life of board design engineers a bit easier when it comes time to couple a crystal to an IC. This program helps ensure that the gain margin (safety factor) and frequency tolerance of the crystal is within the project's constraints.
Why:
- A lot of the math is lifted off your shoulders
- It takes the guesswork out of the equation
The main thing that's needed for this program is the crystal parameters taken from the datasheet along with the current frequency read out by a buffered output from the board.
Once Jupyter Notebook is installed, please run the command below within the directory.
This is an example of how to list things you need to use the software and how to install them. This will launch the program in your primary browser.
