Abstract
A CMOS Pierce crystal oscillator. A clock generator with activation control, for generating a clock signal. The clock generator comprises an amplifier, a shaping circuit and a diagnostic circuit. The amplifier is capable of being coupled to an external oscillation source through an input pad and an output pad to generate an oscillating signal, the shaping circuit is capable of being coupled to the output pad, for shaping the oscillating signal to generate a clock signal, and the diagnostic circuit is capable of being coupled to the output pad, for asserting a ready signal when amplitude of the oscillating signal exceeds a predetermined portion of a full swing voltage.
