Design and Fabrication of a Capacitance Switch Array Usable on a DTCXO

W. Daniau, G. Marianneau, E. Girardet, and J. Marguier

ABSTRACT This work is based on a premanufacturing evaluation of a capitance switch array (CSA). The main idea of this study is the replacement in a digitally temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (DTCXO) of the usual compensation system composed of a digital analog converter coupled with a varactor, in order to decrease the total power consumption and the supply voltage.
