    摘要: A circuit device includes a power supply circuit and a digital temperature compensated oscillation circuit. The digital temperature compensated oscillation circuit includes an A/D conversion unit, a processing unit, and an oscillation signal generation circuit. The A/D conversion unit performs A/D conversion of a temperature detection voltage from a temperature sensor unit. The processing unit performs temperature compensation processing of an oscillation frequency based on temperature detection data. The oscillation signal generation circuit generates an oscillation signal of the oscillation frequency using frequency control data and a vibrator. The power supply circuit includes at least one reference voltage generation circuit that generates a reference voltage based on a work function difference between transistors. The power supply circuit supplies the reference voltage generated by the reference voltage generation circuit to the digital temperature compensated oscillation circuit as a power supply voltage.

    摘要: An environmental sensor implementing a sleep mode timer with an oscillator circuit suitable for low power applications is presented. The oscillator circuit includes a plurality of timer stages cascaded in series with each other. Each timer circuit includes a plurality of transistors and operates to output two voltages with opposite polarities, such that the polarities of the two voltages oscillate periodically based on leakage current in the plurality of transistors. Each timer circuit further includes one or more tuning transistors that operate to adjust a frequency at which the polarities of the voltages oscillate. A complementary-to-absolute temperature (“CTAT”) voltage generator is configured to receive a regulated voltage and supply a bias voltage to the one or more tuning transistors in each of the plurality of timer circuits, where the CTAT voltage generator adjusts the bias voltage linearly and inversely with changes in temperature.

    摘要: A variable injection-strength injection-locked oscillator (ILO) is described. The variable injection-strength ILO can output an output clock signal based on an input clock signal. The variable injection-strength ILO can pause, restart, slow down, or speed up the output clock signal synchronously with respect to the input clock signal in response to receiving power mode information. Specifically, the variable injection-strength ILO can be operated under relatively strong injection when the input clock signal is paused, restarted, slowed down, or sped up.
