FLL oscillator/clock with an FLL control loop including a switched capacitor resistive divider
Abstract:
An FLL (frequency locked loop) oscillator/clock generator includes a free-running oscillator (such as a ring oscillator), and generates an FLL_clk with an FLL-controlled frequency fOSC. The FLL control loop includes a switched capacitor resistor divider that converts fOSC to a resistance, generating an FLL feedback voltage Vfosc used to generate a loop control signal OSC_cntrl input to the oscillator. In response, the oscillator frequency locks FLL_clk to fosc. In an example implementation, the FLL oscillator/clock operates with spread spectrum clocking (SSC) that provides triangular SSC modulation based on a truncated RC transition voltage generated as a negative feedback to an RC relaxation oscillator, with truncation based on switched tripping threshold voltages generated a positive feedback to the RC relaxation oscillator.
