Methods and systems are provided for generating balanced oscillations in oscillators. An oscillator comprises a resonator input configured to receive, from an electro-mechanical resonator, a resonator signal; and an oscillator core comprising a first and a second complementary inverters forming a first loop and a second loop with the resonator input, respectively. The inverters are programmable to contribute to the resonator signal a first gain or a second gain to generate balanced oscillations in the oscillator, with the first gain being less than an upper threshold gain required to generate parasitic-mode oscillations when starting balanced oscillations, and the second gain being equal to or greater than a lower threshold, gain required to generate resonator-mode oscillations. Each inverter is configured to regulate gain contributed by the inventor based on regulating amount of power received to control the gain.
