Abstract

See full text

An oscillator start-up circuit and methodology for oscillator start-up is disclosed. The circuit includes a reference bias switch coupled to a reference node and a load node of a transconductor of an oscillator. The reference bias switch is responsive to a control signal for start-up of the oscillator and operable to close at a first time prior to start-up of the oscillator to maintain a voltage at the reference node equal to a voltage at the load node prior to application of bias to the transconductor. The reference bias switch is further operable to open at a second time subsequent to the first time. In one embodiment, a separate reference bias voltage is applied to a reference node of the transconductor.
