1. A timing signal generator comprising:
a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resonator, wherein the MEMS resonator is to vibrate at a resonant frequency having a temperature dependent variation;
temperature sensing circuitry, including at least one temperature sensor, the temperature sensing circuitry to generate each of an analog temperature-dependent signal and a digital temperature-dependent signal;
circuitry to control a frequency of operation of the MEMS resonator as a function of sensed temperature using a first one of the analog temperature-dependent signal and the digital temperature-dependent signal; and
locked-loop circuitry to receive a signal representing a resonance frequency of the MEMS resonator and to control generation a timing signal therefrom, for output by the timing signal generator, using a second one of the analog temperature-dependent signal and the digital temperature-dependent signal.
