A temperature compensating crystal oscillation device includes a constant voltage circuit (12) for outputting a predetermined voltage independent of the ambient temperature, a temperature sensor circuit (13) for outputting a voltage in proportion to the ambient temperature, and a control circuit (14) for receiving the constant voltage output from the constant voltage circuit (12) and the voltage output in proportion to the temperature from the temperature sensor circuit (13) and for generating a control voltage (Vc) used for compensating a temperature characteristic of a quartz oscillator in the entire range of the ambient temperature through polygonal lines approximation of a negative cubic curve by using continuous lines. Furthermore, the crystal oscillation device includes a VCXO (15) whose oscillation frequency is controlled to be a predetermined value by the control voltage (Vc), and a ROM/RAM circuit (16) for storing temperature compensating parameters used for compensation of a temperature characteristic of the control voltage (Vc) for optimizing the oscillation frequency of the VCXO (15).

A phase-locked loop includes a phase/frequency detector, a charge pump, a loop filter, an oscillator and a feedback circuit coupled between the oscillator and the phase/frequency detector. The loop filter includes a first temperature-variable well resistor and has a gain directly related to resistance of the first resistor. An oscillator coupled to the loop filter includes a voltage-to-current converter that generates a reference current based on the loop filter voltage, and a current-controlled oscillator that generates the output clock based on the value of the reference current. The voltage-to-current converter includes a first transistor that receives the loop filter voltage at a gate and a second temperature-variable well resistor coupled to the source of the first transistor. The oscillator gain is indirectly related to the resistance of the second resistor. The second well resistor and first well resistor have substantially equal resistances and substantially equal temperature coefficients. Since the loop bandwidth includes the product of the loop filter gain and oscillator gain, the effect of temperature-induced resistance variations on loop bandwidth is minimized.

An improved loop filter device for use in a phase lock loop that improves lock-in time and cycle-to-cycle jitter in the phase lock loop. The loop filter is used in a phase lock loop circuit having a phase frequency detector, a charge pump, a voltage controlled oscillator and a divider. The loop filter has a first capacitor with a first side and a second side, wherein the first side of the first capacitor is coupled to the output of the charge pump and the input of the voltage controlled oscillator. A CMOS switch is coupled to the second side of the first capacitor, wherein the CMOS switch is selectively operable between an open condition and a closed condition. At least one second capacitor is coupled in parallel with said switch, wherein the first capacitor is joined in series with said at least one second capacitor when the CMOS switch is in its open condition.

A software controlled crystal oscillator employing a method for digitally controlling a reference frequency of an oscillator, the method includes the steps of: locking a first signal produced by a first tunable software oscillator on to a first resonant frequency of a temperature sensing resonator; locking a second signal produced by a second tunable software oscillator on to a second resonant frequency of the temperature sensing resonator; estimating a temperature of the temperature sensing resonator using the first signal and the second signal; estimating the first resonant frequency and the second resonant frequency based upon the temperature; and adjusting the first signal to approximate the estimated first resonant frequency. An additional step includes controlling the reference frequency of the oscillator based upon the first signal such that the reference frequency is compensated for temperature.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for achieving accurate temperature-invariant sampling frequencies in a device, such as, a multiple message non-volatile multilevel analog signal recording and playback system is described. An oscillator is used to generate an oscillation frequency. A bandgap voltage generator generates a zero temperature coefficient voltage reference (V(OTC)) that is independent of temperature. This V(OTC) is applied to the oscillator. A variable temperature coefficient voltage (V(TC)) that compensates for temperature coefficient variations of a resistor to which V(TC) is applied produces a stable oscillator current Iosc. Therefore, the stable oscillator current Iosc is likewise independent of the temperature coefficient variations of the resistor. The stable oscillator current Iosc is applied to the oscillator such that the oscillator generates a stable temperature-invariant oscillation frequency. A digital divider is used to digitally divide the stable oscillation frequency by a predetermined amount to produce an accurate temperature-invariant sampling frequency. A filter is then used to filter incoming signals utilizing a filter cutoff that tracks the sampling frequency.
摘要:
A digital temperature compensating crystal oscillator, and a method for stabilizing the frequency thereof, in which not only the vibration phenomenon caused during the conversion of analog signals to digital signals in spite of a constant ambient temperature is decreased, but also the output frequency vibrations caused by the noises of analog devices are also decreased, thereby improving the stability and the reliability. If an output temperature data of an analog/digital converter is a first sampling data, then the output temperature data of the analog/digital converter is used directly as a temperature code for obtaining a temperature compensating data, to be stored into a memory. If it is not a first sampling data, then the output temperature data of the analog/digital converter are accumulated up to a predetermined number of times, and an average of accumulated values is supplied into the memory as a temperature code for obtaining the temperature compensating data.
