一种采用自阈值跟踪技术的低功耗差分弛豫振荡器
0.18-µm CMOS, 8.2-MHz, 46.3 µW, 7.66 ps rms抖动, -109 dBc/Hz相位噪声
弛豫振荡器低功耗频率稳定性自阈值跟踪噪声性能
▸创新点1:自阈值跟踪环路(系统创新) - 通过动态跟踪阈值电压,将基于逆变器的比较器的转换点设置为电源电压的固定比例,显著降低了工艺-电压-温度(PVT)依赖性,使电源灵敏度降低10倍至0.9%/0.1V,同时补偿比较器延迟,降低其功耗需求。
▸创新点2:摆幅提升技术(电路创新) - 采用电压摆幅增强技术优化振荡信号的幅度,有效改善长期频率稳定性和噪声性能,实现7.66 ps RMS周期抖动和-109 dBc/Hz @100 kHz相位噪声,Allan偏差噪声低至1.56 ppm。
▸创新点3:基于锁存的弛豫振荡器设计(电路创新) - 利用锁存结构加速状态转换速度,减少静态功耗,在0.18µm CMOS工艺下实现46.3µW超低功耗,功率效率达5.6 kHz/nW,FoM提升至160.8 dBc/Hz。
▸创新点4:无修调温度补偿(系统创新) - 在-20°C至100°C范围内仅通过架构设计实现123 ppm/°C的温度系数,无需额外修调电路,简化了生产校准流程。
Abstract
This paper presents a fully integrated, 8.2-MHz
relaxation oscillator with a sel f-threshold-tracking loop and
swing-boosting technique for improving its long-term frequency
stability and noise performance. The proposed latch-based relax-
ation oscillator increases the transition speed to reduce the
static power consumption. To decrease the process–voltage–
temperature dependence, we prop ose a self-threshold-tracking
loop to ensure that the transition point of the inverter-based com-
parator is
