Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 10:
11. A method comprising:
generating a first clock signal with an oscillator circuit in a first operating mod; wherein the oscillator circuit is modifiable between a first operating mode and a second operating mode, wherein the first operating mode has a first frequency accuracy and a first current consumption, wherein the second operating mode has a second frequency accuracy and a second current consumption;
transmitting a message using the first clock signal;
modifying the oscillator circuit from the first operating mode to a second operating mode, wherein the second frequency accuracy is more accurate than the first frequency accuracy and the second current consumption is hither than the first current consumption, wherein the first operating mode is biased into weak inversion and the second operating mode is biased into moderate inversion, wherein the second operating mode generates less random telegraph noise than the first operating mode;
generating a second clock signal with the oscillator circuit in the second operating mode; and
transmitting a message using the second clock signal.
