This reduction in the phase transition not only complicates to meet the Barkhausen's phase condition in oscillator systems, but also it reduces the quality factor, deteriorating in this way the phase noise performance of oscillator systems. In this paper, we report on the initial experimental demonstration of a dual-mode seesaw CMOS-MEMS resonator that intrinsically mitigates the effect of the parasitic current on the magnitude and phase of the resonance frequency. Finally, a dual-clock application with the presented dual-mode resonator is proposed and experimentally demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":122928,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium (IFCS)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127919067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This technique, therefore, provides good digital properties, such as better design scalability and higher power efficiency. These advantages are confirmed with an oven-control system for a commercial 6-axis inertial measurement unit. As a result, the oven-control system is fabricated on a single printed circuit board measuring 42mm×42mm×10mm and the power efficiency is increased to 94.4%. The entire system shows ±1.8ppm frequency drift during a thermal-cycle test, from -40°C to 85°C with the rate of the change 1°C/min.","PeriodicalId":122928,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium (IFCS)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133006908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
