Since conventional crystal oscillators are significantly affected by ambient temperature, and oven-controlled crystal oscillators are relatively bulky and power-hungry, temperature-compensated crystal oscillators are a viable option for medium-precision applications. These oscillators offer frequency stability in the 10⁻⁶ to 10⁻⁶ range and remain operational even when powered on. In recent years, temperature-compensated technology has developed rapidly and its application has become increasingly widespread.
