Patent abstract
A MEMS resonator system comprises a MEMS resonator, kick start circuitry, feedback circuitry, an oscillator, and a switch. The MEMS resonator system is configured to provide a pulsed kick-start signal having a frequency and period such that energy delivered to the MEMS resonator is optimized in a short period of time, resulting is reduced oscillator startup time. The MEMS resonator system is configured to switch out the kick-start signal when the MEMS resonator oscillation has been achieved, and switch in feedback circuitry to maintain the MEMS resonator in a state of oscillation.
