RC oscillator with compensation delay
Abstract:
According to at least some example embodiments of the inventive concepts, an RC oscillator includes an oscillator core including a timing-circuit that includes a plurality of matched current sources, a plurality of capacitors, and a resistor, a first continuous time comparator, and a Schmitt trigger; and an analog circuit connected to the oscillator core including a second continuous time comparator representing a replica of the first continuous time comparator, and an EX-OR gate, wherein the analog circuit is configured to pass a clock signal of the oscillator core through the second continuous time comparator and obtaining a delayed clock signal representing a comparator delay, extract the comparator delay of the first continuous time comparator based on feeding the clock signal and the obtained delayed clock signal to the EX-OR gate, and charge the plurality of capacitors connected to the first continuous time comparator.
