Abstract:

In order to obtain a more accurate clock source, the crystal oscillator was compensated to reduce the frequency variation with temperature. Compared with different temperature compensation methods of crystal oscillators, analog temperature compensation had higher performance. The focus of the analog temperature compensation circuit was to obtain the compensation voltage exponentially. This paper presented an analog multiplier method. Four MOSFETs were connected to the inputs of the fully differential amplifier. Combining the current-voltage relationship in the linear region multiplied the two analog signals. Different compensation voltages which were linear, quadratic, cubic, quadratic, and fifth power relationship with temperature would be generated. These voltages were superimposed by the summing circuit and could be used for high-order temperature compensation of the crystal oscillator. The differential mode gain of the fully differential amplifier was 78.6 dB, and the two inputs were multiplied by multiplier. Temperature stability of ±2 ppm deviation was achieved.

Key words: crystal oscillator, analog temperature compensation, four-tube multiplier, fully differential amplifier circuit, common mode feedback, exponential voltage
