ABSTRACT:
A crystal oscillator emulator integrated circuit includes a first temperature sensor configured to sense a first temperature of the crystal oscillator emulator integrated circuit. The memory is configured to (i) store calibration parameters and (ii) select at least one of the calibration parameters based on the first temperature. A semiconductor oscillator is configured to generate an output signal, wherein (i) the output signal has a frequency and an amplitude and (ii) the frequency is based on the at least one of the calibration parameters. An amplitude adjustment module is configured to (i) compare the amplitude to a predetermined amplitude and (ii) generate a control signal to adjust the amplitude based on the comparison.
