Abstract

A single crystal (100) dual microprocessor (26, 28) computing system utilizes a single frequency determining element (100) connected across the input pins of one of the microprocessors (26) and the output (102) of the element is connected to one input pin of the second microprocessor (28). The second pin of the second microprocessor (28) is connected to electrical ground (106). This configuration reduces the effective output impedance and results in higher oscillator amplitudes.
