DIGITAL TUNING THE BASE CRYSTAL FREQUENCY
When using the 2-wire interface for tuning the base frequency, the frequency tuning register is used. The frequency
tuning register contains two’s complement data. The data is used to add or subtract an offset from the crystal
loading register. When the tuning register is programmed with a value, the next temperature-update cycle sums the
programmed value with the factory-compensated value. This allows the user/system to digitally control the base
frequency by a microcontroller using the 2-wire protocol.

FOS[6:0], Frequency Offset: These bits are used to tune the base crystal frequency. Each bit represents
approximately 0.08ppm and, therefore, for a value of 07FH, pushes or pulls the base frequency by approximately
10.16ppm.
SIGN, Sign Bit: This bit is used to determine whether to add or subtract the frequency offset from the crystal
loading.
