A surface mounting quartz crystal oscillator has an IC chip containing an oscillator circuit, and a quartz crystal unit which are sealed in a container body by a metal cover, wherein stray capacitances C1, C2 are equivalently in parallel with oscillation capacitors Ca, Cb connected to one and the other ends of the crystal unit, respectively. A gap between the IC chip and a crystal blank of the crystal unit, and a gap between the crystal blank and metal cover are set in accordance with a changing amount of the oscillation frequency due to a change in the stray capacitances C1, C2 in a direction in which a change in equivalent series capacitance is reduced, as viewed from the crystal unit, while maintaining a spacing between the IC chip and metal cover.

A temperature-compensated crystal oscillator with good phase noise characteristics has a crystal unit, a voltage-variable capacitive element inserted in a closed oscillating loop including the crystal unit, and an amplifier for keeping oscillation in the closed oscillating loop. The frequency vs. temperature characteristics of the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator can be compensated for by the temperature compensating voltage input thereto. The temperature compensating voltage is applied to an anode of the voltage-variable capacitive element, and a voltage to prevent a current from flowing through the voltage-variable capacitive element is applied to a cathode of the voltage-variable capacitive element. The voltage-variable capacitive element preferably comprises a variable-capacitance diode.

To secure the benefits of a low phase noise, wide tune range SAW oscillator in noisy environments, the tunable two port SAW resonator circuit within the oscillator is employed in differential mode, connected to a differential amplifier circuit to create a differential oscillator. In the absence of any need for ground or power supply voltage level references, low phase noise/edge jitter is maintained even in hostile environments while providing sufficient tune range to track small frequency changes. The resulting differential mode SAW oscillator is thus well-suited for use, for instance, in clock recovery within SONET applications.

A two port, single pole SAW resonator is employed for a local oscillator to eliminate the secondary frequency responses of the prior art without adding additional inductances and capacitances within an amplifier stage. The stray capacitance which is seen within the equivalent circuit of a single pole, two port SAW resonator at a port for the SAW resonator is tuned out by coupling an appropriately sized inductance in parallel with that stray capacitance. Access to the series resonator within the SAW resonator equivalent circuit is thus provided, permitting direct tuning of the resonant frequency for the SAW resonator. The high Q of the SAW resonator ensures low phase noise/edge jitter, while direct tuning of the series resonator enables a wide tune range. The tunable SAW resonator circuit is thus well-suited for use in a low phase noise tunable oscillator employed, for instance, in clock recovery within SONET applications.

A manufacturing method for a ceramic oscillator capable of controlling the oscillation frequency with a high accuracy is disclosed. In this method, a mother substrate is polarized, electrodes in discrete ceramic oscillator units are formed, the mother substrate is cut into discrete ceramic oscillator units, an outer package is applied to each of the ceramic oscillators, and thus a ceramic oscillator as a finished product is achieved. Herein, the polarization processing for the mother substrate is executed by finishing the application of a high DC voltage, when the antiresonant frequency fa of the mother substrate in a thickness vibration mode is measured while the voltage is applied to the mother substrate, and the antiresonant frequency fa which is being measured has reached a target value of the antiresonant frequency of the mother substrate during polarization corresponding to a target oscillation frequency of the ceramic oscillator as a finished product.

The 1st and 2nd crystal IC pads couple a 1st and 2nd node of an external crystal oscillator to the fast starting on-chip crystal oscillation circuit. The 1st transistor, when activated, couples a power source connection of the inverter to the Vdd IC pad. The 2nd transistor, when activated, couples a power return connection of the inverter to the Vss IC pad. The input of the inverter is coupled to the 1st crystal IC pad and the output of the inverter is coupled to the 2nd crystal IC pad. The resistor is coupled in parallel with the inverter while the 1st capacitor is coupled to the input of the inverter and to the Vss IC pad. The 2nd capacitor is coupled to the output of the inverter and to the Vss IC pad. When the 1st and 2nd transistors are activated, an impulse voltage occurs between the 1st and 2nd crystal IC pads to initiate the oscillation of the crystal oscillator.

A temperature compensated piezoelectric oscillator that is capable of reducing the deterioration of phase noise caused by electrical-current noise, and an electronic device using the temperature compensated piezoelectric oscillator is arranged such that a connection point of a first resistor and a second resistor, which are connected in series between an external frequency control terminal and ground, is connected to the cathode of a variable capacitance diode. Furthermore, a capacitor for bypassing current noise, in which the impedance at a frequency that is lower than the oscillation frequency is sufficiently low so as to be capable of bypassing electrical-current noise generated from the resistors to ground, is provided between the connection point of the resistors and the ground. Electrical-current noise applied to the variable capacitance diode can be reduced, and the phase noise of the oscillation signal can be reduced.

A voltage controlled Colpitts type crystal oscillator includes a first crystal and a transistor coupled to the first crystal to provide positive feedback for generating an output oscillatory signal. A variable capacitance is coupled to the first crystal for producing a change in a frequency of the oscillatory signal when a corresponding change in the variable capacitance occurs. A first inductance is coupled in a resonant circuit that includes the variable capacitance and the first crystal having a value selected to provide a pulling range of at least 0.4% with respect to the frequency of the oscillatory signal. In one embodiment of the invention, a second crystal is coupled to the first crystal and included in the resonant circuit. An energy dissipating impedance is coupled in the resonant circuit to the first crystal for decreasing a Q characteristic of the first crystal to increase the pulling range of the oscillator. The first inductance separates the second crystal from each of the first crystal and the energy dissipating impedance to decrease an effect of the energy dissipating impedance on a Q characteristic of the second crystal.
