Abstract:
An oscillator circuit comprises a crystal oscillator arranged to generate an oscillation signal, a bias current generator arranged to supply a bias current to the crystal oscillator, and a feedback stage arranged to generate a feedback signal in response to an amplitude of the oscillation signal reaching an amplitude threshold. The bias current generator is arranged to: in response to a supply of power to the oscillator circuit being switched on, generate the bias current at an increasing level commencing from a first level; in response to the feedback signal, terminate the increasing; and during subsequent oscillation of the crystal oscillator, supply the bias current at a second level dependent on a final level of the bias current reached when the increasing is terminated.

Claim (Index 11):
The oscillator circuit of  claim 1 , wherein the feedback stage comprises an amplitude detector configured to generate an indication of the amplitude of the oscillation signal, and a comparator configured to generate the feedback signal in response to the indication of the amplitude of the oscillation signal reaching the amplitude threshold.
