Abstract:
In an example, a system includes an oscillator circuit on a chip. The oscillator circuit includes a charging current generator including a current mirror and an amplifier, where the amplifier is coupled to a pin on the chip, and where the pin is adapted to be coupled to an external resistor, where the external resistor is external to the chip. The oscillator circuit also includes oscillator circuitry coupled to the charging current generator, where the oscillator circuitry includes a comparator, a phase generator, a first capacitor coupled to a first switch, and a second capacitor coupled to a second switch. The oscillator circuit includes leakage circuitry coupled to the current mirror, where the leakage circuitry is configured to draw a current from the current mirror proportional to a leakage current flowing through the external resistor from circuitry internal to the chip.
