Abstract:
Circuits for charging capacitors in connection with oscillators are described. The oscillator may include a mechanical resonator. The circuits may include a charging element and a switched capacitor subcircuit to control operation of the charging element, and may be considered a charging circuit in some scenarios. The charging circuits may provide rapid charging of a capacitor to provide a reference voltage to the oscillator.
