Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an oscillation device and related methods for temperature control and temperature compensation. Background Technology
[0002] Quartz resonators used in crystal oscillators exhibit a characteristic where their oscillation frequency changes significantly with temperature. Various techniques have been proposed to compensate for this variation and ensure high-precision, stable frequency characteristics. The conventionally known temperature-controlled crystal oscillator is one such technique.
[0003] These thermostatically controlled crystal oscillators compare an actual temperature with a set temperature, which is related to the outside air temperature measured by a temperature sensor. They control a heat source to reduce the difference between the two temperatures, thereby maintaining the temperature of the quartz resonator housed in a thermostatic oven (which serves as the enclosure) at the preset target temperature. Specifically, a thermostatically controlled crystal oscillator typically consists of a temperature sensor, a temperature setting unit with a preset target temperature, a comparator or, for example, a transistor control device, a heater as the heat source, and an oscillation circuit to drive the quartz resonator. This modular design integrates the module with the quartz resonator within the thermostatic oven. The temperature sensor, temperature setting unit, comparator, and heater are integrated into an integrated circuit (IC). When the actual temperature is low, the set temperature is high. However, excessively high set temperatures can degrade the IC's performance.
[0004] Therefore, in order to address the above-mentioned shortcomings, the present invention proposes a temperature control and temperature compensation oscillation device and method to solve the problems caused by the prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a temperature control and temperature compensation oscillation device and method, which avoids excessively high target temperatures from reducing the performance of integrated circuits.
[0006] In one embodiment of the present invention, an oscillation device is located in an environment with ambient temperature. The oscillation device includes a heater, a frequency source, a voltage-controlled oscillation circuit, and a temperature control circuit. The frequency of the frequency source is temperature-dependent on the ambient temperature, and the voltage-controlled oscillation circuit is coupled to the frequency source. When the ambient temperature is in a first range between a first temperature and a second temperature higher than the first temperature, the voltage-controlled oscillation circuit drives the frequency source to reduce the frequency change caused by the change in ambient temperature. The temperature control circuit is coupled to the heater and the voltage-controlled oscillation circuit. When the ambient temperature is in a second range between a third temperature and a fourth temperature higher than the third temperature, the temperature control circuit drives the heater to rise to a target temperature to adjust the operating temperature of the frequency source. The first temperature is higher than the third temperature.
