There's an interesting circuit in National's app note AN-460, page 8. Here's a link to the PDF of AN-460: http://www.national.com/an/AN/AN-460.pdf Mike Hardwick Decade Engineering >I am building a 10mhz xtal frequency standard and am looking for a >circuit diagram for a simple temperature regulator. I have the >oscillator running in a small cast aluminum box and my idea was to bolt >a power transistor to the case and use that as the variable heating >element.
