Abstract
A fast start-up crystal oscillator (XO) and a fast start-up method thereof are provided. The fast start-up XO may include a XO core circuit, a frequency synthesizer, and a fast start-up interfacing circuit, wherein the frequency synthesizer may include a voltage control oscillator (VCO) and a divider. The XO core circuit generates a XO signal having a XO frequency. The VCO generates a VCO clock having a VCO frequency, and the divider generates a divided clock having a divided frequency, wherein the VCO frequency is divided by a divisor of the divider to obtain the divided frequency. The fast start-up interfacing circuit transmits the divided clock to the XO core circuit, and then generates a reference clock having the XO frequency according to the XO signal. More particularly, the VCO frequency is calibrated according to the reference clock, in order to make the divided frequency approach the XO frequency.
