Abstract

See full text

A crystal oscillator and a startup method for initiating operation of a crystal oscillator, the crystal oscillator includes an oscillator structure including a crystal resonator and an electronic oscillator circuit connected to the crystal resonator, the oscillator structure having a first terminal and a second terminal, a startup controller operable to initiate an oscillation in the oscillator structure by exciting the oscillator structure with a sequence of excitation signals derivable from a clock signal and when triggered by a timing signal, the sequence of excitation signals includes at least a first excitation signal and a second excitation signal, a comparator including a first and a second input terminal and an output terminal, the first input terminal being connected to the first terminal and wherein the second input terminal is connected to the second terminal.
