Abstract: An oscillator circuit includes a voltage-controlled oscillator configured to output an AC output signal having a predetermined frequency, which changes due to temperature and fabrication process variations and a control voltage generating circuit configured to provide a voltage signal to the voltage-controlled oscillator to maintain the predetermined frequency by compensating for the temperature and fabrication process variations.
