Abstract: A compensation module, an oscillation circuit and associated compensation method for reducing an oscillation frequency variation in an output oscillation signal of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) core are provided. The compensation module includes a compensation circuit and a polarity selection circuit. The compensation circuit has a capacitance value related to voltages of a first and a second receiving terminals. The oscillation frequency variation is changed with the capacitance value. The polarity selection circuit conducts a periodic regulated signal to one of the first receiving terminal and the second receiving terminal. The polarity selection circuit conducts a filtered bias signal to the other of the first receiving terminal and the second receiving terminal. The periodic regulated signal is sensitive to a regulated voltage variation, and the filtered bias signal is insensitive to the regulated voltage variation.

Abstract: A fast start-up crystal oscillator (XO) and a fast start-up method thereof are provided. The fast start-up XO may include a XO core circuit, a frequency synthesizer, and a fast start-up interfacing circuit, wherein the frequency synthesizer may include a voltage control oscillator (VCO) and a divider. The XO core circuit generates a XO signal having a XO frequency. The VCO generates a VCO clock having a VCO frequency, and the divider generates a divided clock having a divided frequency, wherein the VCO frequency is divided by a divisor of the divider to obtain the divided frequency. The fast start-up interfacing circuit transmits the divided clock to the XO core circuit, and then generates a reference clock having the XO frequency according to the XO signal. More particularly, the VCO frequency is calibrated according to the reference clock, in order to make the divided frequency approach the XO frequency.

Abstract: A biased impedance circuit, an impedance adjustment circuit, and an associated signal generator are provided. The biased impedance circuit is coupled to a summation node and applies a biased impedance to the summation node. A periodic input signal is received at the summation node. The biased impedance circuit includes a switching circuit for receiving an output window signal, wherein a period of the output window signal is shorter than a period of the periodic input signal. The switching circuit includes a low impedance path and a high impedance path. The low impedance sets the biased impedance to a first impedance when the output window signal is at a first voltage level. The high impedance path sets the biased impedance to a second impedance when the output window signal is at a second voltage level. The first impedance is less than the second impedance.
