Abstract

A high-performance crystal oscillator providing effective bias resistors with low power consumption and minimal substrate surface area. In various embodiments of the invention, a switched-capacitor resistor is operably coupled to circuit components, such as an oscillation source, a current source, an input buffer, or an amplifier to provide a bias resistance.
