Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A crystal driver integrated circuit with external oscillation signal amplitude control including an amplifier core, an input pin and an output pin, an adjustable capacitor, and a controller. The controller operates the amplifier core in any one of multiple operating modes including an oscillator mode and a bypass mode. During the bypass mode, the controller disables the amplifier core and adjusts the adjustable capacitor so that an amplitude of an oscillation signal received via the input pin from an external oscillator has a target amplitude. The external oscillation signal may be capacitively coupled for capacitive voltage division or directly coupled for impedance attenuation. An available voltage may be provided as a source voltage to the external oscillator via the output pin. An internal voltage regulator and/or switch may be included to re-provision the output pin to provide the source voltage during the bypass mode.

Abstract: At least one example embodiment provides a controller to sample a first signal. The first signal indicates an initial amplitude of an output signal of an oscillator circuit. The controller selects a step amount based on the first signal and a target amplitude of the output signal. The controller generates a control signal for the oscillator circuit based on the selected step amount. The control signal indicates a change in gain for the oscillator circuit according to the selected step amount.

Abstract: An oscillator module used with a plurality of power sources includes an oscillator unit, a clock monitor unit (CMU), a software module and a digital calibration circuit. The oscillator unit generates a clock signal. The CMU is coupled to the oscillator unit, determines whether an amplitude of the clock signal exceeds a predetermined threshold, and outputs an alarm signal if the amplitude of the clock signal is lower than the predetermined threshold. The software module is coupled to the CMU, and receives the alarm signal to output a calibration signal. The digital calibration circuit is coupled to the oscillator and the software module, and outputs a control signal in response to the clock signal and the calibration signal, adjusting the plurality of power sources to modify the clock signal.
