    摘要: A start-up circuit for a ring current-controlled oscillator (CCO) includes a replica CCO current generator, a replica ring CCO, and a buffer. The ring CCO is connected to a CCO driver and the buffer. The CCO driver generates a CCO current based on a reference current. The ring CCO generates a CCO output voltage at a first oscillating frequency based on the CCO current. The replica CCO current generator generates a replica CCO current based on a reference voltage. The replica ring CCO generates a replica CCO output voltage at a second oscillating frequency based on the replica CCO current. The buffer provides a first current to the ring CCO when the first oscillating frequency is lower than a desired oscillating frequency, and drains a second current from the ring CCO when the first oscillating frequency is greater than the desired oscillating frequency.

    摘要: A system for providing security in a computer system is provided. The system includes a ring oscillator including a plurality of logic gates connected in a ring configuration. The system also includes logic circuits to start the ring oscillator by a ring-enable signal and a clock signal provided to a clock input of at least one controlled logic gate of the plurality of logic gates. The clock signal controls the at least one controlled logic gate and thereby synchronizes the ring oscillator to the clock signal. The clock signal is provided to the clock input for a predetermined warm-up duration, and thereafter, the logic circuits restart and operate the ring oscillator without the clock signal.

    摘要: Low power oscillator circuits for providing clock signals. The circuits comprise crystal oscillators for providing an input wave form of a specified frequency to the clock circuit, square wave generators having at least two input terminals wherein one of the two input terminals is coupled to the oscillator, and a power output network coupled to the square wave generator for outputting a substantially square wave having substantially the same frequency as the input wave form, the power output network being biased at a high voltage level. Clock circuits described herein provide the advantage of low power oscillation with little power dissipation.
