摘要:
A highly stable single chip resonator controlled oscillator with automatic amplitude control and biasing is designed for manufacture with monolithic integrated circuit technologies. Analog and digital output buffers with elaborate control for power saving purposes and sophisticated start-up and power-up circuits ensure, that a crystal controlled oscillation is safely induced at start-up and that the amplitude of oscillation is continuously controlled during operation to reach low phase noise and reduce power consumption of the circuit.

A temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) comprises a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) having a crystal unit, a compensating voltage generator for generating a compensating voltage applied to the voltage-controlled crystal oscillator, a low pass filter inserted between the compensating voltage generator and voltage-controlled crystal oscillator, and a switching element connected in parallel with the low pass filter for short-circuiting across the low pass filter. In a manufacturing process of the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator, switching element is brought into a conducting state when an excitation electrode of the crystal unit is irradiated with an ion beam for adjusting the oscillation frequency.

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.

A crystal oscillator circuit using CMOSFETs including an oscillator circuit that is constructed of a resonating section and an amplifying section having a CMOSFET, a reference current source circuit for generating a reference current which determines a bias current of the amplifying section, and a control signal generator circuit for controlling the reference current source circuit to make a bias current larger than that in the oscillation status when the oscillator circuit is in the non-oscillation status. As a result, the reference current source circuit constant-current biases the DC bias of the amplifying section without depending on the source voltage. Therefore, it can lower the driving source voltage of the oscillator circuit. Further, only the bias current of the amplifying section is increased during the oscillation starting period of the oscillator circuit, so that the oscillator circuit can provide a stable oscillation with low power, without variations in the source voltage.

A voltage controlled oscillator is provided. The oscillator includes a surface acoustic wave element for forming a feedback circuit for an amplifier, and a phase adjustment circuit including a filter which is interposed in the feedback circuit. The oscillator also has a phase shifter including a hybrid coupler to which an additional control part is attached for changing a phase value within an oscillation loop with a control voltage supplied from an external source. An equal power divider equally distributes output power within the oscillation loop and supplies the output power outside the oscillation loop. A multi-layer board is used for mounting the amplifier, surface acoustic wave element, phase adjustment circuit, phase shifter, and equal power divider in at least two separate layers.

In a quartz oscillation circuit, electric current flowing through a quartz oscillator is reduced. Resistors Rg and Rd are provided respectively in any of paths formed by an output terminal, a capacitance element Cd and a power supply terminal VDD of a CMOS inverter 2 and any of paths formed by an input terminal, a capacitance element Cg and a power supply terminal VDD, thereby reducing a current flowing through a quartz oscillator. In particular, the total value of the resistors Rd and Rg is determined in a range of from 10&OHgr; to 320&OHgr;, thereby reducing a quartz current and obtaining a required negative resistance.
