However, their frequency accuracy varies depending on the ambient temperature. At a temperature of 25\u00b0C, accuracy is at its highest. The further away the ambient temperature is excursive from 25\u00b0C, the frequency deviation will be changed according to a specific characteristic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The relationship between temperature and frequency deviation can be approximated using a 3rd degree polynomial function.

The frequency stability of normal XOs, as it is illustrated in Figure 1 above, is completely sufficient for numerous applications. However, there are many others as for example wireless- or GPS-applications that make significantly higher demands, that can merely be met by TCXOs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#4f8fcc\">Design and Functionality of a TCXO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TCXOs constrain frequency deviations over the entire operating temperature range between -40\u00b0C to 85\u00b0C, thus achieving a frequency stability of up to \u00b1 0.5ppm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the following, the functionality of a TCXO will be explained in detail by taking a closer look at its basic architecture. Usually, a TCXO consists of five functional blocks (Fig. 2), that will each be described in more detail below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ting_Hao_TCXO_architecture-1024x389.png\" alt=\"TCXO basic architecture\" class=\"wp-image-1480\" width=\"1024\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ting_Hao_TCXO_architecture-1024x389.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ting_Hao_TCXO_architecture-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ting_Hao_TCXO_architecture-768x292.png 768w, https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ting_Hao_TCXO_architecture-1536x583.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ting_Hao_TCXO_architecture-280x106.png 280w, https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ting_Hao_TCXO_architecture.png 1554w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Fig. 2: Basic TCXO Architecture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#4f8fcc\">1) Controlling Signal Generator with Polynomial Function<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The controlling signal generator is the heart of a TCXO. In a first step, it observes the changes of ambient temperature (\u0394T) with the help of a built-in temperature sensor. Using a comparator with predefined reference voltage, the sensed temperature (\u0394T) will be translated into a proportional temperature voltage (V_T). In a next step, the temperature voltage (V_T) is translated into a specific controlling voltage (V_C), using a polynomial function generator.&nbsp;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Fig3_Steuerspannung-1.png\" alt=\"Controlling voltage (V_C) is created according to a polynomial function that is the inverse function of the oscillator\u2019s F\/T-characteristic.\n\" class=\"wp-image-1501\" width=\"753\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Fig3_Steuerspannung-1.png 753w, https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Fig3_Steuerspannung-1-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Fig3_Steuerspannung-1-280x168.png 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><figcaption><em>Fig. 3: Controlling voltage (V_C) is created according to a polynomial function that is the inverse function of the oscillator\u2019s F\/T-characteristic.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Summing\nup, you can say that the controlling voltage V_C (red curve) follows a\npredefined processing, reflecting the temperature perception of the oscillator\n(blue curve). However, as all crystal blanks have individual temperature\ncharacteristics, a piece-by-piece compensation process is necessary to\ndetermine the coefficients of the polynomial function for every individual\nblank. As a consequence, TCXOs are particularly precise but also more expensive\nthan other types of oscillators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#4f8fcc\">2) Pulling Network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This\ncircuit uses the controlling voltage (\u0394V_C) to correct the frequency deviation\nof the oscillator caused by temperature changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand how the controlling voltage can calibrate the frequency, it is helpful to take a look at the following equation:<\/p>\n\n\n\\[ fosc=1\/(2*pi*\\sqrt(L*C)) \\]\n\n\n\n<p>Accordingly,\nthe oscillator\u2019s resonant frequency (fosc) is determined by two equivalent\nvariables: the equivalent inductance (L) of the quartz and the equivalent\ncapacitance (C). As a natural property of any quartz blank, inductance (L)\nvaries as temperature changes. Compensating these changes is thus only possible\nby adjusting the capacitance (C), that is controlled by the ASIC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An\narray of varactors is used to neutralize the temperature effect of the crystal\nblank by complementarily altering the capacitance (\u0394_C). As temperature rise\ncauses a rise in equivalent inductance (L) of the crystal blank, the equivalent\ncapacitance (C) will complementary be pulled down by the array of varactors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Varactors change their capacitance according to voltage, so at this point the abovementioned controlling voltage (V_C) comes into play. Put simply, the array of varactors uses the controlling voltage (V_C) to adjust the equivalent capacitance (C) in a way to counteract the variation of the resonant frequency of the individual crystal blank at variable temperatures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#4f8fcc\">3) Core Oscillator<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In\naddition to these temperature compensation circuits, a TCXO naturally also has\nan ordinary oscillator circuit that is optimized to generate the desired\nfrequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#4f8fcc\">4) Voltage Regulator<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This\ncomponent is a kind of &#8220;protection mechanism&#8221;. The aim is to regulate\nthe voltage applied to the TCXO from outside in order to prevent any voltage\nfluctuations within the TCXO, caused for example by the noise of the power\nsupply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#4f8fcc\">5) Output Buffer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another kind of protective mechanism. It isolates the crystal oscillator from any external load changes. Therefore, the variation of output-load capacitance would not impact the accuracy of resonant frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#4f8fcc\">TCXO: Typical Fields of Application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks\nto their enormous frequency stability, TCXOs are particularly suitable for\nwireless applications in telecommunications. The components are also in great\ndemand in the IoT sector, GPS-applications and numerous consumer products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since every application has its own specific requirements, Jauch Quartz offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/en-INT\/products\/frequency_control_components\/getPrm\/Oscillators\/TCXO%20clipped%20sine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (\u00f6ffnet in neuem Tab)\">wide range of TCXOs in different sizes with its JT-series<\/a>.

In addition, all components of JT-series are characterized by two\nimportant core features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#4f8fcc\">Jauch-TCXO use Disciplined Quartz Blanks only<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ordinary quartz blanks may have minor defects or impurities, such as an insufficiently polished area on the quartz surface or disordered lattices in the crystal blank. These minor irregularities can potentially cause a prompt frequency jumping at a particular temperature range, that cannot be described by a finite-degree polynomial equation. As a consequence, the compensation-mechanism of the TCXO will be inaccurate at this particular temperature range. This phenomenon is called \u201cfrequency perturbation\u201d and is visualized in figure 4 below.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Fig4_perturbation-1-1024x307.png\" alt=\"F\/T-characteristic of a TCXO with frequency perturbation\" class=\"wp-image-1504\" width=\"1024\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Fig4_perturbation-1-1024x307.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Fig4_perturbation-1-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Fig4_perturbation-1-768x230.png 768w, https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Fig4_perturbation-1-1536x460.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Fig4_perturbation-1-280x84.png 280w, https:\/\/www.jauch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Fig4_perturbation-1.png 1545w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em> Fig. 4: Frequency perturbation of an ordinary quartz blank  <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 4 shows the temperature characteristics of a TCXO using an ordinary quartz blank with an unexpected frequency perturbation at 63\u00b0C.
