Abstract
A circuit for generating temperature-stable clocks including first and second crystal oscillators, an input for a reference clock source, a clock output, a first phase acquisition circuit coupled to the first and second crystal oscillators, a second phase acquisition circuit coupled to the input for the reference clock source and to the second crystal oscillator, a first DPLL coupled to the first phase acquisition circuit, a crystal oscillator variation estimator coupled to the first DPLL, a second DPLL coupled to the second phase acquisition circuit and including a phase-frequency detector having a input coupled to the second phase acquisition circuit, a loop filter, a frequency subtractor having an input coupled to the loop filter and an input coupled to the crystal oscillator variation estimator, and a DCO coupled to the frequency subtractor and driving an input of the phase-frequency detector.
