  • Publication number: 20240213964
    Abstract: A temperature compensated oscillator includes: a current source configured to generate a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current; and a ring oscillator which has a complementary to absolute temperature (CTAT) oscillation frequency and is configured to receive the PTAT current to generate an oscillation signal. The current source includes a tracking MOS device and a resistor which are coupled in series. The tracking MOS device and at least one MOS device of the ring oscillator have the same conductive type, and a gate-source voltage of the tracking MOS device and a gate-source voltage of the at least one MOS device have the same CTAT coefficient, such that when the temperature compensated oscillator operates, the tracking MOS device and the at least one of the first MOS device have a tracking effect to compensate the CTAT oscillation frequency.

  • Patent number: 8433024
    Abstract: A spread spectrum clock generator includes a triangular modulator, a delta sigma modulator, a frequency divider, and a phase lock loop. The triangular modulator generates a digital modulation signal, representing a decimal, according to a digital parallel signal, in which the spread amount is in proportion to the digital parallel signal. The delta sigma modulator, electrically connected to the triangular modulator, generates a divider divisor, including the decimal and an integer, according to the digital modulation signal. The frequency divider divides the frequency of the output signal clock according to the divider divisor to generate a divided clock signal, in which the frequency of the divided clock signal is substantially equal to a quotient result from dividing the frequency of the output clock signal with the divider divisor. The phase lock loop adjusts the frequency of the output clock signal according to the divided clock signal and a reference clock signal.
