Abstract:
A data reception apparatus includes: an oscillation circuit that multiplies or divides an oscillation signal from a CR oscillator based on a cycle setting value, and outputs a clock signal corresponding to the multiplied or divided oscillation signal; a temperature detector; a memory; a clock cycle setting element that reads the cycle setting value corresponding to the temperature from the memory, and inputs the cycle setting value into the oscillation circuit; a receiver that receives a data signal defined by the clock signal; a measurement element that measures a unit bit length of the data signal by counting the clock signal; and a correction element that corrects the cycle setting value based on a count value of the clock signal and a reference count value of a reference cycle corresponding to the unit bit length, and rewrites the cycle setting value with the corrected cycle setting value.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an integrated circuit for a temperature compensated crystal oscillator having an external crystal. The integrated circuit comprises a temperature compensation having one fixed or at least two selectable 3rd and/or 4th and/or 5th and/or higher order temperature compensation functions for at least one specific type of external crystal. The temperature compensation can be calibrated at one temperature, in other words without use of temperature variation, by means of an external voltage or current source overdriving a respective temperature-dependent voltage or current supplied from an internal temperature sensor to the temperature compensation.

Abstract:
A frequency controlled oscillator (100) is manufactured using an array (200) of mechanically interconnected oscillator bases (110) having component cavities (130) and wiring patterns therein. A frequency control component (120) serves as a cover for a cavity within the array, and in addition is electrically connected to oscillator components (140, 150) mounted within the cavity to regulate the frequency of electrical oscillation. Both the oscillator bases and finished oscillators may be tested while still in the array, prior to being separated from each other. In a most preferred embodiment, the array of oscillator bases are manufactured from a polymeric sheet material laminated with electrically conductive traces. The polymeric sheet material is selectively punched or formed prior to lamination so that intermediate and upper layers (112, 113) have predetermined sections removed. These removed sections will align with adjacent layers to form the component cavity from intermediate the top and bottom to the top of the finished laminate.
