Which of the following components can be used to reduce thermal drift in crystal oscillators?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. NP0 capacitors
NP0 (C0G) capacitors have nearly zero temperature coefficient, so their value barely changes with temperature. That reduces thermal drift in oscillators.
Tip: NP0 = negative-positive-zero drift.
