For the non-stop demands for a better and smarter society, the number of electronic devices
keeps increasing exponentially; and the computation power, communication data rate, smart …

Comparators are the core of analog-to-digital converters (ADC), used as sense amplifiers in
on-chip data-communication links and memories. The time taken by a clocked comparator to …

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 …

Crystal oscillators take a long time and, more importantly, a significant amount of energy to
start-up. This article presents a self-timed energy injection technique to quickly start-up a …

An Impedance Guided Chirp Injection (IGCI) oscillator-based fast startup technique is
proposed in this work demonstrating startup time between 5 and 100 across a wide range of …

This paper analyzes energy consumption in wireless streaming with delay constraints. One
fundamental question is whether the transmitter should transmit a steady stream of bits …

Ast start-up crystal oscillators (XOs) based on energy injection with an auxiliary oscillator
(AO) are efficacious in improving the energy consumption of duty-cycled the Internet of …

In this paper, we propose a hybrid crystal oscillator which achieves both quick startup and
low steady-state power consumption. At startup, a large negative resistance is realized by …

Startup time (t_s) and energy (E_S) of crystal oscillators (XO) determine the efficiency of ultra-
low-power duty-cycled loT radios. MHz-range X0s take a few milliseconds to reach the …

This brief presents an analytical treatment of the initial motional current of the Pierce crystal
oscillator (XO), which is critical for determining its start-up time. Specifically, the limitation of …
