    摘要: Apparatuses and methods for temperature independent oscillator circuits are disclosed herein. An example apparatus may include a pulse generator circuit configured to provide a periodic pulse based on the charging and discharging of a capacitor and further based on a reference voltage. The pulse generator circuit may include a capacitor coupled between a first reference voltage and a first node, wherein the capacitor is configured to be charged and discharged through the node in response to the periodic pulse, a resistor and a diode coupled in series between a second node and a second reference voltage, and a comparator coupled to the first and second nodes and configured to provide the periodic pulse based on voltages on the first and second nodes, wherein a period of the periodic pulse is based at least on the resistor and the a current.

    摘要: A relaxation oscillator can provide a smaller and cheaper alternative to a crystal oscillator circuit in a wide variety of applications. A sawtooth relaxation oscillator can include overshoot error integration. Separate and distinct oscillator capacitor charging, overshoot error integration, and reset phases can be provided using separate comparators for first and second oscillation capacitors. Potential advantages can include high accuracy high-frequency clock, convenient trimming during initial calibration, clock frequency stability over temperature and time, fast startup with low overshoot, high power supply rejection, low power, or low noise/jitter. The oscillator can charge an oscillation capacitor up to a target voltage, then interrupt charging before beginning an error integration phase that adjusts the target voltage by integrating an overshoot error of a voltage on the oscillation capacitor. After completing the overshoot error integration, the voltage on the oscillation capacitor can be reset. The techniques described are believed to be capable of improving clock frequency accuracy and other characteristics.

    摘要: Examples of a signal calculator include a voltage multiplier and a time divider. The voltage multiplier copies time information corresponding to a first voltage and generates a third voltage using a second current corresponding to a second voltage during a first period corresponding to the copied time information. The time divider generates an output according to a result of comparing a voltage generated by a first current on the basis of a voltage corresponding to a first time with a second voltage corresponding to a second time.

    摘要: A relaxation oscillator system has a relaxation oscillator and a frequency control (FC) unit. The oscillator includes first and second oscillator sub-circuits and a latch. The first and second oscillator sub-circuits receive from the FC unit, respectively, first and second control signals for controlling corresponding outputs provided to the latch by the first and second oscillator sub-circuits. The latch outputs a variable frequency feedback signal provided to the FC unit. The FC unit receives a frequency control signal for controlling the frequency of an oscillator output signal and generates the first and second control inputs based on the frequency control signal and the feedback signal so that changes to the oscillator frequency are implemented by each oscillator sub-circuit while that sub-circuit is in an idle state to avoid glitches in the oscillator output signal.
