First Claim
Patent Images
1. A double-sided temperature compensated oscillator package, comprising:
- a platform including a central portion and an outer portion;
sidewalls extending substantially upwardly and substantially downwardly from the outer portion of the platform, the upwardly extending sidewalls terminate at a surface mountable end portion, the surface mountable end portion includes a plurality of contacts adapted to facilitate connection to an electrical device;
the upwardly extending sidewalls and the platform forming an open-top receptacle adapted to receive at least one electronic component and the downwardly extending sidewalls and the platform forming an open-bottom receptacle adapted to receive at least one piezoelectric component; and
a cover coupled with the open-bottom receptacle defining a hermetic environment.

Abstract
A double-sided oscillator package (200) is provided. The package (200) has an open-top receptacle (212) adapted to receive an electronic component and an open-bottom receptacle (214) adapted to receive at least a piezoelectric element and a cover, forming a hermetic environment. The electronic component (226) and piezoelectric element (234), can be suitably connected to the package (200). The package (200) is designed to be mass-producable, and is compact, easily surface mounted and provides a narrow profile.
