I've been experimenting with digital thermal compensation on my GPSDO.  The results have been favorable for a 14 bit dithered PWM-based DAC, but leaves a bit to be desired in the big picture.  And it takes up a lot of program bytes on my PIC..  What's the general consensus on this?  Should

If you can understand the temperature effects and can model them accurately and you can measure temperatures and your DAC steps are small enough, then digital compensation can be perfect. But you are unlikely to meet all those conditions. In theory if the problem is that the voltage diver's
