Abstract:This paper presents an on-chip process, voltage and temperature (PVT) compensation technique for a 1-MHz monolithic clock oscillator in a CMOS process. The oscillator is based on carrier mobility and frequency-to-voltage converter (FVC), which is based on charge pump circuit. An adaptive charge current maintains a constant frequency without trimming. Furthermore, a reference voltage with a second-order temperature coefficient further compensates the variation of frequency with temperature. It improves the accu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
