Abstract

This paper presents an embedded RC oscillator which has temperature compensation circuits. The conventional RC oscillator has frequency deviation about 15%, which is caused by variation of resistors and the reference voltage of schmitt trigger from the temperature condition. In this paper, the proposed circuit use a CMOS bandgap reference having balanced current temperature coefficients as a triggering voltage of schmitt trigger. The constant current sources consist of current mirror circuit with the positive and negative temperature coefficient. The proposed circuit shows less 3% frequency deviation for variation of temperature, supply voltage and process parameters.

본 논문에서는 시스템의 클럭을 안정적으로 공급하는 집적화 한 내장형 RC oscillator의 구현에 관한 논문이다. 기존의 RC oscillator는 온도에 따라 주파수변화가 약 15%정도 변화가 있는데 이는 온도에 따른 저항값의 변화와 schmit trigger의 기준전압이 온도에 따라 변화하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 온도에 따른 주파수 변화를 최소화하는 방법으로 CMOS bandgap과 온도에 따른 전류의 변화를 이용하였다. CMOS bandgap으로 기준 전압을 얻고 온도에 따라 증가하는 전류원과 온도에 따라 감소 하는 전류원을 서로 합하면 온도에 따라 일정한 전류를 얻어 주파수의 변화를 약 3%이내로 유지하는 회로를 제안한다.
