Methods and systems are disclosed that utilize digital control loops to control an amplitude level for output signals generated by crystal oscillator circuitry. The disclosed embodiments utilize multiple selectable current drive circuits to control the amplitude level of the output signals from crystal oscillator circuitry. The current drive circuits are selectably used, or not used, to provide a bias current to the crystal oscillator circuitry based upon a multi-bit digital control signal. The multi-bit digital control signal can be generated, for example, by control circuitry that compares the oscillator output signal to a reference output signal level.
