A 51.3-MHz 21.8-ppm/°C CMOS Relaxation Oscillator With Temperature Compensation

摘要

A 51.3-MHz 18-μW 21.8-ppm/°C relaxation oscillator is presented in 90-nm CMOS. The proposed oscillator employs an integrated error feedback and composite resistors to minimize its sensitivity to temperature variations. For a temperature range from -20 °C to 100 °C, the fabricated circuit demonstrates a frequency variation less than ±0.13%, leading to an average frequency drift of 21.8 ppm/°C. As the supply voltage changes from 0.8 to 1.2 V, the frequency variation is ±0.53%. The measured rms jitter and phase noise at 1-MHz offset are 89.27 ps and -83.29 dBc/Hz, respectively.
