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 9):
The oscillator circuit of  claim 1 , comprising a storage device configured to store an indication of the final level, and wherein the bias current generator is configured to, in response to the supply of power to the oscillator circuit being switched on subsequently after being switch off, generate the bias current at a third level dependent on the stored indication.
