Frequency Drift
(Over Operating Temperature, Max).

 

The maximum change in output frequency as a result of a specified change in operating temperature.

In regard to oscillators, a measure of the change in frequency over the specified operating temperature range. It is commonly expressed as parts-per-million per degree Celsius (ppm/C) or as a percentage figure. From a system applications view, the total frequency drift with temperature is sometimes specified around the frequency set at room temperature in + total parts per million.
