Conventional crystal oven
» Difficult to match oven's set point to crystal turn point
» Analog components need regulated internal supply (regulator adds an uncontrolled hotspot in the oven)
» Varactor diode bias potentiometer for frequency tuning is time consuming. Setting may be affected by aging and shock
» Component aging effects PID controller
 
Microprocessor controlled crystal oven
» Uses 8-pin SOIC low-cost micro-controller with internal EEPROM that retains:
 
Temperature set-point
Frequency tuning (digital potentiometer changes varactor diode bias)
» Digital temperature sensor
» Digital PID controller with feed-forward to suppress oscillations around set-point
» Uses unregulated power for digital electronics/ heater (minimize uncontrolled heat dissipation)
 
PWM sensing of supply voltage
Digital compensation for voltage variations in heater PWM computation
 
Microprocessor controlled crystal oven simplifies calibration
» Optically isolated serial interface board for half-duplex communication to a PC
» Simple protocol that allows:
 
Monitoring oven temperature
Setting oven temperature
Frequency tuning
» Interactive GUI exercises protocol at operator's behest
