    Abstract: A crystal oscillator (XO) and a method for performing startup of the XO are provided. The XO includes a XO core circuit, an auxiliary oscillator and a frequency detection circuit, wherein the frequency detection circuit includes a resistive circuit. The frequency detection circuit generates a detection voltage according to a driving signal associated with an auxiliary signal generated by the auxiliary oscillator and a first impedance of the resistive circuit. During a first powered on phase, the auxiliary oscillator is calibrated by utilizing the XO core circuit as a reference after startup of the XO core circuit is completed, and the resistive circuit is calibrated according to the detection voltage. During a second powered on phase, a frequency of the driving signal is calibrated according to the detection voltage, and the driving signal is injected to the XO core circuit for accelerating the startup of the XO core circuit.

    Abstract: A frequency calibration (FCAL) circuit and a method for calibrating an oscillation frequency of a controllable oscillator are provided. The FCAL circuit includes the controllable oscillator, a divider, a time-to-digital converter (TDC) and a calibration logic. The controllable oscillator generates a controllable oscillation clock according to a calibration code. The divider divides the oscillation frequency of the controllable oscillation clock by a predetermined divisor to generate a divided clock. The TDC converts a first period between first edges of a reference clock and the divided clock into a first period code and converts a second period between second edges of the reference clock and the divided clock into a second period code. The calibration logic compares the first period code and the second period code to generate a comparison result for determining whether the first period is greater or less than the second period, and accordingly controls the calibration code.
