Abstract
A method and apparatus for speeding up the start-up process of a crystal oscillator. The energy required for starting oscillations is inserted to the crystal by a stimulus in the form of a time-variant voltage or current pattern, either periodic or aperiodic. The stimulus is stopped after a pre-established period, then the oscillator continues to operate in its normal mode and completes the start-up process significantly faster, compared to a start-up process not comprising the above stimulus.
