Abstract
In one embodiment of the present invention, an oscillator activator includes a trigger circuit, a controller, and a stability generator. The trigger circuit generates a trigger signal based on a reset signal. The controller controls generation of an oscillator signal from a main oscillator based on the reset signal. The stability generator generates a stability indicator signal in response to the trigger signal. The stability indicator signal indicates a stable condition of the main oscillator corresponding to a start-up time of the main oscillator.
