Abstract
A clock circuit includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) having a control input and a first clock output. The clock circuit includes a frequency-locked loop (FLL) having an FLL input and a control output, the control output coupled to the control input. A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) resonator-based oscillator has a second clock output. A multiplexer has a first multiplexer input, a second multiplexer input, a selection input, and a multiplexer output. The first multiplexer input is coupled to the first clock output. The second multiplexer input is coupled to the second clock output. The multiplexer output is coupled to the FLL input.
