Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the communication electronic integrated circuit technology, and relates to a crystal oscillator, in particular to a low power consumption and fast start-up crystal oscillator circuit which can be programmed to adjust the start-up condition. Background technique [0002] With the development of portable mobile devices, low power consumption and low cost have become an urgent requirement for integrated circuit design. In particular, the design of battery-powered timers in portable devices requires crystal oscillator circuits with low power consumption and low cost. For a general 32.768KHz crystal oscillator circuit, a lithium battery usually requires 2 to 3 years of work, or even 6 years. This puts a strict limit on the power consumption of the crystal oscillator circuit, and the expected value of its operating current is less than 1μA. [0003] However, the condition for fast start-up of the crystal oscillator is that a large ...
