As new applications impose jitter values in the range of a few tens of femtoseconds, the
design of phase-locked loops faces daunting challenges. This paper derives basic relations …

This article reports a 12-/13.56-MHz fast-and-energy-efficient startup crystal oscillator (XO)
featuring a binary-search-assisted two-step injection technique for ultralow-power duty …

With the recent popularity of active ultra-wideband (UWB) tracking beacons, the next era of
low-power IoT aims to offer tracking as a core feature in numerous enterprise and industrial …

We present a new highly sensitive, low-value capacitance sensor method that uses multiple
quartz crystals connected in parallel inside the oscillator. In the experimental setup, the …

Crystal oscillators can be started up quickly by using energy injection techniques. However,
the generation of the injection waveform, as well as driving the large capacitive load formed …

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) radios are aggressively duty-cycled to reduce the average
power consumption, but the startup time and energy of the crystal oscillator can limit their on …

An analog fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL) is presented, which largely eliminates
quantization noise by overclocking the delta–sigma modulator (DSM). The overclocking …

A 2.4-GHz MEMS-based oscillator is presented with g m-boosting technique. A novel
Darlington cell with a dynamic self-body-biasing scheme is proposed to boost the …

This article proposes a fully integrated single-crystal oscillator (XO)-based clock
management IC (CMIC) with three key features for 5G cellular mobile devices. First, to …

This article reports a Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) transmitter (TX) tag without the battery and
crystal (XTAL) while supporting multitag time-division duplex (TDD) and frequency-division …
