| 1. An apparatus for generating an oscillating signal, comprising:
a first circuit to generate an oscillating signal;
a second circuit to supply a first current to the first circuit; and
a third circuit to supply a second current to the first circuit, wherein the first and second currents are adapted to reduce
a time duration for the oscillating signal to reach a defined steady-state condition, wherein the defined steady-state condition
is based on an amplitude of the oscillating signal not varying more than 15 percent.
