Temperature compensating crystal oscillator structure and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of crystal oscillator device and manufacture method thereof, particularly about a kind of temperature compensating crystal oscillator device and manufacture method thereof.
Background technology
Crystal oscillator generally is to be used for the application apparatus that needs are stablized output frequency, for example is used for mobile phone, uses as the frequency reference source.Yet its output frequency of traditional crystal oscillator can present function along with the oscillator environment temperature.See also typical case shown in Figure 1 and do not compensate the performance curve chart of the frequency of oscillation of quartz crystal environment temperature.As shown in Figure 1, curve 100 has the shape as cubic curve, and it roughly can divide into three temperature provinces.In low temperature zone (35 ℃ to approximately+10 ℃), this curve has the linear segment of positive slope and the nonlinear area that the slope of curve changes.In the middle temperature province (+10 ℃ to+50 ℃), this curve has the linear segment for negative slope.In the high-temperature zone (+50 ℃ to+90 ℃), this curve has the non-linear partial for the linear segment of positive slope and slope of curve change.Wherein position, breakover point 102 place pact in middle temperature province is located for+28 ℃.
There are multiple technologies to can be used for this frequency change of compensated crystal, generally can utilize an integrated circuit to produce a compensated curve 104, this compensated curve 104 is anti-phase each other with curve 100, therefore can be by the compensation of compensated curve 104, revise the change output frequency, to produce stable output frequency.
Common this product is made up of a resonant element (quartz crystal slice) and an integrated circuit, and its structure roughly has two kinds, and first kind of structure is that resonant element and integrated circuit are encapsulated in the same ceramic vessel simultaneously.Yet, in this structure, owing to be to encapsulate resonant element and integrated circuit simultaneously, therefore when covering or weld integrated circuit, the residue that resin that it volatilized or welding stay can impact resonant element, and influences its characteristic as the reference frequency source.
Second kind of structure is that resonant element (quartz crystal slice) and integrated circuit are encapsulated in respectively in two ceramic vessels, at first resonant element is placed on a ceramic vessel and airtight good, again integrated circuit is placed in another ceramic vessel, again this two ceramic vessel is coupled together at last.Though this structure can be avoided as first kind of structure when encapsulated integrated circuit, the residue that causes the resin that volatilizes or welding to stay forms influence to resonant element, but it need use another ceramic vessel bearing integrated, this ceramic vessel is to be formed by low temperature co-fired technology manufacturing by multi-layer ceramics, have only a few company to produce in a large number, so cost is very high.
On the other hand, in above-mentioned two kinds of structures, all can have several on final products is used for integrated circuit is done the external electrode that program is imported, these electrodes promptly do not have other purposes after input is finished, but in use, these useless electrode pair clients can cause interference, for example must whether the possibility that cause short circuit with other circuit be arranged consideration, make product design complicated.On the other hand, because the more and more miniaturization of temperature compensated oscillator structure causes the distance between several external electrodes more and more littler, therefore want to make these external electrodes and control signal to keep excellent contact just more and more difficult.
Summary of the invention
In view of all having its defective, above-mentioned conventional temperature compensated oscillator structure exists, cover or weld the residue that resin that integrated circuit volatilizes or welding stay resonant element is impacted as resonant element and integrated circuit being encapsulated in the same ceramic vessel simultaneously, can making.And,, can improve manufacturing cost because of need use another ceramic vessel bearing integrated in the structure that encapsulates resonant element and integrated circuit respectively.And above-mentioned two kinds of structures can have the electrode that several do not have effect on final products, in use can cause interference to the client.
Therefore, main purpose of the present invention is at above-mentioned shortcoming, proposes a kind of temperature compensated oscillator structure with low cost, and it has high stability output frequency in required temperature range.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of temperature compensated oscillator structure, it does not have unnecessary electrode on final products, therefore can not cause interference to the user.
Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of temperature compensated oscillator structure, it is all guided to employed electrode outside the temperature compensated oscillator structural detail, and the electrode that some signals are identical can link together, and therefore can not increase the difficulty in the signal contact that brings because floor space reduces.
According to temperature compensated oscillator structure of the present invention, it comprises a quartz crystal that has encapsulated and a temperature-compensating integrated circuit.Wherein this quartz crystal has the resonance frequency that changes in a specific range of temperatures, and this resonance frequency can be defined by a cubic curve; This temperature-compensating integrated circuit can produce a control signal, and this control signal roughly is inversely proportional to the cubic curve of quartz-crystal resonance frequency in this specific range of temperatures, therefore can make the whole output frequency of oscillator, and is roughly stable in whole temperature range.
Wherein this temperature-compensating integrated circuit is installed on the printed circuit board (PCB) (PCB), and it at first is connected on the printed circuit board (PCB) by welding or use conducting resinl in the mode that is arranged in parallel by some crystal connecting plates.The integrated circuit of following some tool temperature compensation functions is installed between any two adjacent crystal connecting plates, and uses potting resin to coat between any two adjacent connecting plates, and integrated circuit is encapsulated.After encapsulation is finished, installing one coccolith English crystal directly over each integrated circuit, wherein each coccolith English crystal cross-over connection on two adjacent crystal connecting plates, thereby cover corresponding integrated circuit.
The invention has the advantages that, temperature compensating crystal oscillator structure of the present invention is to have encapsulated quartz crystal and the integrated circuit with temperature compensation function of finishing by one to constitute, therefore can avoid the influence of impurity to the quartz crystal resonance characteristic, on the other hand, the part of bearing integrated is to be made by printed circuit board (PCB), therefore has low-cost and easy characteristic of producing.And if certain part gone bad (as integrated circuit), all the other good parts (as quartz crystal) also can be utilized again.Each employed electrode in encapsulation process is all guided to outside the element, and can be cut after encapsulation is finished, and does not therefore have unnecessary electrode on final products, and can not cause interference to the user.And because electrode is to guide to the temperature compensating crystal oscillator outside to connect, so temperature compensating crystal oscillator can do very for a short time, also can not cause the difficulty in the signal contact.
