Abstract

The invention discloses a self-excited injection crystal oscillator, which consists of a starting circuit and a steady-state circuit. In the starting mode, a power supply is connected with the crystal oscillator through a switch to excite the quartz crystal so as to generate oscillation current. The comparator detects the zero crossing point of the oscillation current and the state of the switch is switched by the digital control module. The amplitude of the oscillation current gradually increases and serves as an injection signal of the crystal oscillator. After the crystal oscillator reaches a steady state, the amplifier provides energy to maintain a stable oscillation state. The crystal oscillator adopting the self-excitation injection technology can realize accurate same-frequency injection, shortens the starting time, does not need an oscillator injection or frequency calibration circuit and saves the power consumption.

Description

Self-excited injection crystal oscillator
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of low-power consumption clocks, and particularly relates to a self-excited injection crystal oscillator.
Background
In recent years, rapid popularization of communication modes such as bluetooth, WIFI, GPS and the like has greatly promoted application of Ultra-Low Power (ULP) systems, such as internet of things, wireless sensor networks, energy collection systems and the like. And the ultra-low power consumption technology is very important for reducing the energy consumption of the system and prolonging the service life of the battery. The crystal oscillator provides reference frequency for modules such as a phase-locked loop, an analog-to-digital converter and the like in the system. But the starting time is long, so that the influence on the system power consumption is large. Therefore, it is very important to shorten the start-up time of the crystal oscillator.
The prior art includes increasing the negative resistance of the crystal oscillator and injecting an oscillation signal into the quartz crystal to speed up start-up. The increase of the negative resistance of the crystal oscillator is limited by the parallel capacitance in the quartz crystal, and the effect of accelerating the starting is very limited. The technology of accelerating the starting by injecting an oscillation signal into a quartz crystal is generally adopted at present. But this technique requires that the frequency error between the injected signal and the crystal oscillator be less than 0.5%. The use of calibration circuitry may improve injection frequency accuracy, but may increase power consumption; frequency calibration can be avoided by jitter injection and chirp injection, but both techniques are inefficient because of excessive loss due to large error between the injected partial energy and the target frequency.

Has the advantages that: the invention adopts the power supply and the switch circuit to excite the quartz crystal to generate the oscillation signal, and takes the oscillation signal as the injection signal of the crystal oscillator, and because the oscillation signal is generated by the crystal oscillator and almost has no deviation with the frequency of the crystal oscillator, the problem that the injection signal is difficult to have the same frequency with the crystal oscillator because of the injection of the external oscillator is avoided. The self-excitation injection technology not only realizes the purpose of accelerating the starting of the crystal oscillator, but also does not need an oscillator and frequency calibration, thereby saving the power consumption.
