A high-stability, ultra-low-power quartz differential oscillator circuit for demanding radio applications. Ruffieux, D. In Solid-State Circuits Conference, 2002. ESSCIRC 2002. Proceedings of the 28th European, pages 85–88, September, 2002.
abstract   bibtex   
A crystal-based differential oscillator circuit offering simultaneously high stability and ultra-low power consumption is presented for timekeeping and demanding radio applications. The differential circuit structure -in contrast to that of the conventional 3-points- does not require any loading capacitance to be functional and the power consumption can thus be minimized. Although the loading capacitance is omitted a very precise absolute oscillation frequency can be obtained as well as an excellent insensitivity to temperature variations thanks to the reduced parasitics of a deep-submicron technology. The power consumption of a 12.8MHz quartz oscillator including an amplitude regulation mechanism is below 1 µA under a 1.8 to 0.6V supply voltage range.
