Systems and methods for controlled application of hysteresis in crystal oscillator circuits are discussed. In various embodiments, an Integrated Circuit (IC) may include: an inverter comparator coupled to a crystal oscillator, where the inverter comparator is configured to: (i) receive an input of the crystal oscillator, and (ii) output a clock signal; and a hysteresis control circuit coupled to the inverter comparator, wherein the inverter comparator is configured to: (i) start up with hysteresis disabled, and (ii) enable hysteresis in response to a hysteresis enable signal provided by the hysteresis control circuit.

Controlled application of hysteresis in crystal oscillator circuits

A phase shifted clock generator that includes a delay circuit, a capacitor, and a control circuit is provided. The delay circuit receives a reference clock signal and generates a phase shifted clock signal. A phase difference between the phase shifted clock signal and the reference clock signal is controlled based on a delay of the delay circuit. The control circuit controls, based on the phase shifted clock signal and the reference clock signal, a control voltage generated at the capacitor. The control circuit controls the control voltage by charging and discharging the capacitor with a constant current. The delay of the delay circuit is controlled based on the control voltage such that the phase difference between the phase shifted clock signal and the reference clock signal is within a predefined range.
