A high accuracy crystal oscillator for generating a clock signal comprises a gain stage (2) controlled by a current from a current source (5), and a trimmable load capacitance (3, 4). For low power generation of a clock signal, a mode control unit (7) is provided for disconnecting at least part of the load capacitance (3, 4) and activating an oscillation amplitude regulator (6) that is connected between the input terminal of the gain stage (2) and the current source (5) to reduce the current to the gain stage (2) to such a value that oscillation is maintained with a minimum amplitude. |
