Claim Text:
1. A device comprising: a micro-oven comprising a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) oscillator configured to generate a reference signal; a control unit comprising at least one input node configured to receive a parameter set, wherein the parameter set comprises at least a first parameter indicative of a sensed ambient temperature and a second parameter indicative of a power consumption of the device, and wherein the control system is configured to (i) based on the parameter set and at least one predefined relationship between the sensed ambient temperature and the power consumption, select from a plurality of pre-characterized operation temperatures an operation temperature for the MEMS oscillator, and (ii) generate a temperature-setting signal indicating the selected operation temperature; and a temperature control system communicatively coupled to the control unit and configured to (i) receive the temperature-setting signal and (ii) maintain the MEMS oscillator at the selected operation temperature.
