    • A pure MOS-implementable oscillator requires no trimming to make the oscillation frequency Vdd independent, but permits trimming to compensate for process and fabrication variations. A current generator creates a core reference current Iosc0, mirrored programmable trim currents, and dynamic reference voltages that do not require a constant Vdd source. A programmable delay unit provides value-programmable capacitors that receive mirrored currents A.times.(M/N).times.Iosc0, where A is a MOS channel W/L ratio constant, and M and N are integers. The currents create ramp-like voltage signals across the capacitors, the slewrate being A.times.(M/N).times.Iosc0/capacitance. A comparator unit compares the ramp-like signals, which ramp-down from Vdd, against a (Vdd-Vt) reference voltage (Vt being a MOS threshold voltage). The comparator unit outputs complementary signals that toggle a set-reset flipflop, whose output is the oscillator output signal. This signal is fedback to the programmable delay unit to toggle on and off the current flow that determines oscillation period. Frequency change due to discrepancies between anticipated and realized load resistors and capacitors may be coarse and/or fine trimmed, for example by incrementally varying M and/or by turning-on a current-providing MOS device having an appropriate W/L value for A. The oscillator includes two programmable delay paths and can accept an input oscillator signal and output a signal whose frequency is a non-integer or integer multiple, simply by varying capacitor ratios.
    • 纯MOS可实现的振荡器不需要修整以使振荡频率Vdd独立,但允许修整以补偿工艺和制造变化。 电流发生器产生核心参考电流Iosc0,镜像可编程微调电流和不需要恒定Vdd源的动态参考电压。 可编程延迟单元提供接收镜像电流Ax(M / N)xIosc0的值可编程电容器,其中A是MOS通道W / L比常数,M和N是整数。 电流在电容器两端产生斜坡状电压信号,摆率为Ax(M / N)xIosc0 /电容。 比较器单元将从Vdd斜降的斜坡信号与(Vdd-Vt)参考电压(Vt为MOS阈值电压)进行比较。 比较器单元输出互补信号,其触发设置复位触发器,其输出是振荡器输出信号。 该信号被反馈到可编程延迟单元以打开和关闭确定振荡周期的电流。 由于预期和实现的负载电阻器和电容器之间的差异导致的频率变化可以是粗略和/或微调,例如通过逐渐改变M和/或通过接通具有适当W / L值的电流提供MOS器件 该振荡器包括两个可编程延迟路径,并且可以简单地通过改变电容器比率来接受输入振荡器信号并输出​​频率为非整数或整数倍的信号。
