Abstract
A radio transceiver having digitally-corrected temperature-compensated crystal oscillators (DTCXOs) including digital frequency temperature compensation circuits that are temporarily suspended from being updated, such that temperature compensation updates that can generate noise during periods of reception and transmission that could interfere with the audio channel and/or signal synchronization will be postponed. Temperature is converted to a digital signal that is then used to address a PROM. The PROM outputs a correction word appropriate for the temperature reading and inputs this to a latch. A timing control loads the latch after data has settled. The latched correction word is connected to a bank of switches and capacitors that trim the frequency of the crystal oscillator. During radio transmission and/or reception, the latch will be suspended from loading any new correction words. The last valid correction word, however, will remain.
