摘要: Embodiments can provide individualized controlling of noise injection during startup of a crystal oscillator. In some embodiments, a simple learning block can be placed in parallel to a oscillator circuit to control noise injection during the startup of the crystal oscillator. The learning block can be configured to control the noise injection during the startup of the crystal oscillator by determining whether the crystal oscillator has been stabilized. In some embodiments, an adjustment block may be employed to adjust the count determined by the learning block based on one or more measured characteristics of the crystal oscillator during a startup of the crystal oscillator. In some embodiments, a simple block that creates a negative capacitance can be configured in parallel to the crystal oscillator.

摘要: A crystal amplifier for driving a crystal to oscillate at a resonant frequency including a controlled current source, a primary amplifier core, a high gain amplifier core, and a controller. Both amplifier cores are coupled in parallel, and each has an input coupled to an amplifier input node and an output coupled to an amplifier output node coupled across the crystal. The current source provides a core bias current to the source node. The controller enables the high gain amplifier core and sets the core bias current to a high current level to achieve a high negative resistance at a startup time, and then disables the high gain amplifier core and sets the core bias current to a lower steady state current level after oscillation is achieved. A level detector may be used for detecting oscillation and for determining when to adjust the core bias current.

摘要: A crystal oscillator is coupled to a digital automatic gain control (AGC) having oscillation detection and amplitude control loops. The oscillation detection loop may increase the transconductance (gm) of the oscillator transistor until oscillation is detected therefrom. Then the amplitude control loop detects the amplitudes of oscillations from the crystal oscillator, compares these amplitudes to high and low voltage references and generates digital signals to find a critical transconductance (gm) for an oscillator amplifier and control this gm to maintain a constant oscillation waveform amplitude therefrom. An up/down counter defines the servo control loop bandwidth/update-rate according to an update clock rate thereto. Loop stability is achieved when the control loop bandwidth is less than the start-up time required for the oscillation envelope of the crystal oscillator to grow for oscillation. An oscillator failure detector may also be provided.

摘要: The present invention concerns a drive circuit for driving an oscillator. The drive circuit comprises a first inductor comprising a first terminal and a second terminal; an electrical energy source connected to the first terminal; and a switching circuit connected to the second terminal and to the oscillator. The switching circuit is configured to operate at least in an off state, where it is configured not to feed electrical energy to the oscillator, and in an on state, where it is configured to feed electrical energy to the oscillator. The first inductor is arranged to store energy in its magnetic field when the switching circuit is in the off state, and, when the switching circuit is in the on state, the switching circuit is arranged to use at least some of the energy stored in the magnetic field to deliver a surge of current from the electrical energy source to the oscillator.

摘要: A radio frequency (RF) signal can be produced with an RF frequency that is responsive to a frequency reference (FREF) clock. An inductive-capacitive (LC) tank oscillator circuit can generate the RF signal. A digital to time converter (DTC) circuit can operate, for a first edge of the FREF clock, in a baseline mode that has a first delay, and for a subsequent edge of the FREF clock, in a delay mode that introduces a second delay value to the FREF clock. A controller circuit can enable the LC-tank oscillator circuit in response to a first edge of the FREF clock and to set or increase the second delay value of the delay mode as a function of the frequency of the RF signal. A phase detector circuit can detect, for the subsequent edge of the FREF clock, a phase difference between the FREF clock and the RF signal.
