    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for generating multiple oscillating signals. One example circuit generally includes a first voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) having a first inductor and a second VCO having a second inductor in parallel with a third inductor, wherein the second and third inductors are disposed inside a loop of the first inductor and may behave as a magnetic dipole. The loop of the first inductor may be symmetrical, and a combined geometry of loops of the second and third inductors may be symmetrical. The coupling coefficient (k) between the first inductor and a combination of the second and third inductors may be small (e.g., k

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for charging a crystal oscillator are provided. A voltage generating module outputs a ramp voltage signal to a ring oscillator. The ring oscillator generates and outputs a waveform based on the ramp voltage signal. The ramp voltage signal facilitates the ring oscillator to output the waveform at a frequency that varies with time, wherein the varying frequency is within a frequency range of the crystal oscillator. An inverter generates a digital input signal based on the waveform. The digital input signal is sent to an input of the crystal oscillator for charging the crystal oscillator. A feedback module outputs a feedback signal based on the digital input signal, wherein the feedback signal controls the voltage generating module to generate a fixed voltage signal that facilitates the ring oscillator to output the waveform at a frequency that is equal to a resonance frequency of the crystal oscillator.
