APPLICATIONS
applications. This circuit works well because of the two
matched delays and rail-to-rail style outputs of the LT1720.
The circuit in Figure 9 shows a crystal oscillator circuit that
generates two nonoverlapping clocks by making full use of
the two independent comparators of the LT1720.
C1 oscillates as before, but with a lower reference level,
C2’s output will toggle at different times. The resistors set
the degree of separation between the output’s high pulses.
With the values shown, each output has a 44% high and

56% low duty cycle, sufficient to allow 2ns between the
high pulses. Figure 10 shows the two outputs.
The optional A1 feedback network shown can be used to
force identical output duty cycles. The steady state duty
cycles of both outputs will be 44%. Note, though, that the
addition of this network only adjusts the percentage of
time each output is high to be the same, which can be
important in switching circuits requiring identical settling
times. It cannot adjust the relative phases between the two
outputs to be exactly 180 apart, because the signal at the
input node driven by the crystal is not a pure sinusoid.
