摘要: The present invention is able to reduce a CI value without requiring precise processing of a crystal blank.
An electrode structure of a crystal unit (1) according to the present invention includes driven electrodes (21, 22) arranged at least at a center on main surfaces (11, 12) of a crystal blank (10). The driven electrodes (21, 22) have a structure in which vibration energy of thickness shear vibration of the crystal blank (10) is concentrated in a central region of the crystal blank (10).-

摘要: A micro-electrical-mechanical system (MEMS) resonator device includes at least one functionalization material arranged over at least a central portion, but less than an entirety, of a top side electrode. For an active region exhibiting greatest sensitivity at a center point and reduced sensitivity along its periphery, omitting functionalization material over at least one peripheral portion of a resonator active region prevents analyte binding in regions of lowest sensitivity. The at least one functionalization material extends a maximum length in a range of from about 20% to about 95% of an active area length and extends a maximum width in a range of from about 50% to 100% of an active area width. Methods for fabricating MEMS resonator devices are also provided.

摘要: An oscillator system includes a first oscillator structure configured to oscillate about a first rotation axis at a first oscillation frequency; a second oscillator structure configured to oscillate about a second rotation axis at a second oscillation frequency; a driver circuit configured to generate a first driving signal to drive an oscillation of the first oscillator structure with a first oscillation phase and the first oscillation frequency and generate a second driving signal to drive an oscillation of the second oscillator structure with a second oscillation phase and the second oscillation frequency. The first oscillation frequency and the second oscillation frequency have a variable frequency ratio with respect to each other that varies over time. The driver circuit is configured to modulate at least one of the first oscillation phase or the second oscillation phase to modulate the variable frequency ratio.

摘要: Systems, methods, and devices of the present disclosure relate, generally, to compensating for frequency error of a reference signal supplied to a clock-tracking-loop due to temperature. Error characteristics of a crystal oscillator that supplies the reference signal are used to compensate for possible frequency errors. Other systems, methods and devices are disclosed.

摘要: An integrated circuit includes first and second coils, a first pad connected to the first coil and to a resonator, a second pad connected to the second coil and to the resonator, and first and second output terminals. The first pad is arranged to provide signals between the resonator and the first coil. The second pad is arranged to provide signals between the resonator and the second coil. A distance between the first pad and the first coil is less than a distance between the first coil and the first output terminal and a distance between the first coil and the second output terminal. A distance between the second pad and the second coil is less than a distance between the second coil and the first output terminal and a distance between the second coil and the second output terminal.

摘要: A microelectromechanical device structure comprises a supporting structure wafer. A cavity electrode is formed within a cavity in the supporting structure wafer. The cavity electrode forms a protruding structure from a base of the cavity towards the functional layer, and the cavity electrode is connected to a defined electrical potential. The cavity electrode comprises a silicon column within the cavity in the supporting structure wafer, which is partially or entirely surrounded by a cavity. One or more cavity electrodes may be utilized for adjusting a frequency of an oscillation occurring within the functional layer.

摘要: An apparatus includes a temperature measuring device within a thermally conductive package. A crystal within the package is thermally coupled to the temperature measuring device and subjected to a same temperature as the temperature measuring device. A controller external to the package is configured to receive a signal from the crystal and a temperature measurement from the temperature measuring device. The controller is configured to estimate a frequency error of the crystal based on the temperature measurement and to provide a frequency error estimate to an external system.
