Abstract
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).
