Summary:A differential crystal oscillator electronic circuit. Embodiments of the present invention include circuits comprising two substantially similar oscillator circuits. The oscillator circuits may be coupled to a common crystal or ceramic resonator. Embodiments of the present invention are especially well suited to implementation within integrated circuits where their superior common mode and supply rejection function beneficially in opposition to the naturally high coupling characteristics of integrated circuits. Further, by naturally furnishing differential signals, these low noise signals may be used directly by other differential circuits on an integrated circuit, without requiring additional single ended to differential conversion circuitry.
