Abstract:
A self-calibrating temperature compensated oscillator includes a monolithic structure having a first resonator, a second resonator, and a heating element to heat the first and second resonators. The temperature coefficient of the second resonator is substantially greater than the temperature coefficient of the first resonator. A first oscillator circuit operates with the first resonator and outputs a first oscillator output signal having a first oscillating frequency. A second oscillator circuit operates with the second resonator and outputs a second oscillator output signal having a second oscillating frequency. A temperature determining circuit determines the temperature of the first resonator using the second oscillating frequency. A temperature compensator provides a control signal to the first oscillator in response to the determined temperature to adjust the first oscillating frequency and maintain it at a desired operating frequency.
