    Abstract: A comparator circuit includes a first transistor configured to receive a first input and a second transistor configured to receive a second input. The comparator circuit further includes a third transistor coupled to a terminal of each of the first and second transistors. The third transistor is configured to be controlled by a first control signal. A gate of a fifth transistor is coupled to a terminal of a fourth transistor at a first node and a gate of the fourth transistor is coupled to a terminal of the fifth transistor at a second node. A sixth transistor is coupled between the first and fourth transistors. A seventh transistor is coupled between the second and fifth transistors. A gate of the sixth transistor and a gate of the seventh transistor are coupled together at a fixed voltage level.

    Abstract: Frequency detector and oscillator circuits are disclosed. Example frequency detector and oscillator circuits disclosed herein include a current approximation circuit coupled to an external clock operating at a target frequency. In some examples, the current approximation circuit is configured to determine a magnitude of a first current to charge a capacitor to reach a reference voltage during a first set of clock cycles generated by the external clock. In some examples, the current approximation circuit is further configured to generate an output current based on the magnitude of the first current and to use the output current to produce a comparator output. In some examples, the frequency detector and oscillator circuits further include a latching circuit coupled to receive the comparator output from the current approximation circuit. In some such examples, the latching circuit is configured to generate oscillating signals at the target frequency based on the comparator output.
