Abstract:
A semiconductor apparatus includes: first and second external terminals that are connected to respective both ends of an piezoelectric vibrator, in which the piezoelectric vibrator is externally disposed; an inverting amplifier that is disposed between the first and second external terminals; a feedback resistance that feeds back an output of the inverting amplifier to an input of the inverting amplifier; a first capacitative element that is disposed between the first external terminal and a reference voltage terminal; a first resistive element that is disposed in series with the first capacitative element; a second capacitative element that is disposed between the second external terminal and the reference voltage terminal; and a second resistive element that is disposed in series with the second capacitative element.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a crystal oscillator circuit, a first noise application circuit, and a second noise application circuit. The first noise application circuit is connected to the crystal oscillator circuit and is configured to drive a crystal resonator by selectively applying initial noises of opposite phases to a first external terminal and a second external terminal. The second noise application circuit applies a second noise to the first external terminal by amplifying a signal at the first external terminal and returning the amplified signal to the first external terminal, thereby driving an oscillation amplifier and a crystal resonator of the crystal oscillator circuit and shortening a start-up time of the crystal oscillator circuit.
