Abstract
A timer initialization circuit is used to stabilize a timing signal of a system timed using a core oscillator. The timer initialization circuit includes a circuit which disables the core oscillator during a power-down mode and re-enables the core oscillator upon termination of the power-down mode. The timer initialization circuit also includes a circuit which stores an indication of an oscillation frequency at which the circuit operates immediately preceding the power-down mode.
