Abstract
An embodiment of a crystal oscillator circuit includes leakage-current compensation, transconductance enhancement, or both leakage-current compensation and transconductance enhancement. Such an oscillator circuit may draw a reduced operating current relative to a conventional oscillator circuit, and thus may be suitable for battery or other low-power applications.
