General Description
The MAX7377 dual-speed silicon oscillator with reset is
a replacement for ceramic resonators, crystals, crystal
oscillator modules, and discrete reset circuits. The
device provides the primary and secondary clock
source for microcontrollers in 3V, 3.3V, and 5V applica-
tions. The MAX7377 features a factory-programmed
high-speed oscillator, a 32.768kHz oscillator, and a
clock selector input. The clock output can be switched
at any time between the high-speed clock and the
32.768kHz clock for low-power operation. Switchover is
synchronized internally to provide glitch-free clock
switching.
Unlike typical crystal and ceramic resonator oscillator
circuits, the MAX7377 is resistant to vibration and EMI.
The high-output-drive current and absence of high-
impedance nodes make the oscillator less susceptible
to dirty or humid operating conditions. With a wide
operating temperature range as standard, the MAX7377
is a good choice for demanding home appliance,
industrial, and automotive environments.
The MAX7377 is available in factory-programmed fre-
quencies from 32.768kHz to 10MHz. See Table 1 for
standard frequencies and contact the factory for cus-
tom frequencies.
The MAX7377 is available in a 5-pin SOT23 package.
Refer to the MAX7383 data sheet for frequencies

10MHz. The MAX7377 standard operating tempera-
ture range is -40
