Abstract :
A crystal-temperature-sensing interface based on an in-situ thermistor and a 1 V 12b digitally calibrated SAR ADC in 45 nm LP CMOS is presented. The digitized temperature readings are used by an LUT-based compensation scheme to stabilize the frequency of a crystal oscillator through digital capacitive load tuning to achieve ±0.5 ppm stability over a -10-to-80°C temperature range.
