    Abstract: An oscillator equipped with a temperature compensation circuit is illustrated. Through the temperature compensation circuit, a transistor of a current mirror circuit of the oscillator which outputs a reference current to a voltage matching circuit is controlled by the temperature compensation voltage. Both of the temperature compensation voltage and a reference current decrease as the temperature rises, and a delay time of the oscillation voltage is proportional to the temperature compensation voltage and inversely proportional to the reference current. Therefore, the effects of temperature on the delay time just cancel each other out. The delay time of the oscillating voltage is related to the frequency of the clock signal. Therefore, if the delay time of the oscillating voltage is not affected by temperature, the frequency of the clock signal will not be affected by temperature.

    Abstract: An oscillation circuit includes resistors with tap points for high/low reference voltages. An RC network coupled in parallel with the resistors includes a first capacitor to vary a first voltage input and a second capacitor to generate a second voltage input. A first comparator alternately compares the voltage inputs with the low reference voltage to generate oscillation outputs. A PTAT current DAC supplies an injection current to a resistor of the series of resistors that variably modulates the reference voltages. A second comparator alternately compares the voltage inputs with the high reference voltage and controls generation of an adaptive bias current to first comparator near a switching threshold voltage range thereof. A chop switch matrix alternately flips voltage reference inputs to input terminals of first comparator. A multiplexer alternately inverts a polarity of the oscillation outputs in concert with alternately flipping the voltage reference inputs by the chop switch matrix.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an RC oscillator comprising: a bias circuit, generating first and second bias currents, and outputting a charging current proportional to a total bias current that is the sum of the first and second bias currents, wherein the ratio of the first bias current to the second bias current has a positive temperature coefficient; and an oscillation circuit, for periodically charging a capacitor using the charging current output by the bias circuit, and using a voltage across a resistor through which the second bias current or a current proportional thereto flows as a reference voltage to compare with a charging voltage on the capacitor, so as to obtain a periodically oscillating clock signal. Thus, the present disclosure can compensate the positive temperature coefficient of the subsequent delay and realize the RC oscillator with low temperature drift by making the charging time of the capacitor have a negative temperature coefficient.
