Temperature compensation of the resonant frequency is
a must if the clock is used at different temperatures.
Please ask your supplier of bar antenna material and of
capacitors for specified values of the temperature
coefficient.
Furthermore, some critical parasitics have to be consid-
ered. These are shortened loops (e.g., in the ground line
of the PCB board) close to the antenna and undesired
loops in the antenna circuit. Shortened loops decrease the
Q value of the circuit. They have the same effect like con-
ducting plates close to the antenna. To avoid undesired
loops in the antenna circuit, it is recommended to mount
the capacitor C
res
as close as possible to the antenna coil
or to use a twisted wire for the antenna-coil connection.
This twisted line is also necessary to reduce feedback of
noise from the microprocessor to the IC input. Long
connection lines must be shielded.
A final adjustment of the time-code receiver can be
carried out by pushing the coil along the bar antenna. The
maximum of the integrator output voltage V
INT
at
Pin INT indicates the resonant point. But attention: The
load current should not exceed 1 nA, that means an input
resistance
1 G of the measuring device is required.
Therefore, a special DVM or an isolation amplifier is
necessary.
