Fig.7 Maximum driving current vs. Vibration mode
 
Drive level
Fig.7 shows the mechanical oscillation modes of a crystal unit.
But without the limitation of the mechanical vibrations of a crystal unit to some extent, the oscillation frequency stability deteriorates or the vibrations exceeding the limit of elasticity of a crystal wafer may cause it to be broken. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the under limit of the drive level. Due to the fact that the mechanical displacement of a crystal unit whose frequency range is lower and whose vibration mode is thickness shear or flexure mode is great, special care is required not to break the crystal wafer.
Fig.7 shows the maximum drive current for each mode as a standard for design.

Pullability
The pullability of a crystal to a crystal operating in the parallel mode and is a measure of the frequency change as a function of load  capacitance. Pullability is important to the circuit designer who wishes to achieve several various values of load capacitance.

Aging
Quartz crystal aging applies to the cumulative change in frequency which results in a permanent change in operating frequency of the crystal unit. The rate of change of frequency is fastest during the first forty-five days of operation.
Many interrelated factors are involved in aging, some of the most common being: internal contamination, excessive drive level, surface change of the crystal, various thermal effects, wire fatigue and frictional wear. Proper circuit design incorporating low operating ambient, minimum drive level, and static pre-aging will greatly reduce all but the most severe aging problems.

Negative resistance(-R)
The negative resistance, also refer to as the degree of oscillation allowance that can be used for judging the quality of the circuit side oscillation motivation. The use of a circuit which an insufficient negative resistance may lead to such an unexpected trouble as the quartz crystal unit failing to initiate oscillation even when power has been switched on(Fig.8.).
