    Abstract: A calibrated measurement circuit, with a first node, a second node, a circuit element coupled between the first node and the second node, and a reference circuit element. The calibrated measurement circuit also comprises circuitry for directing a first current and a second current between the first node and the second node and to the reference circuit element. The calibrated measurement circuit also comprises circuitry for measuring voltage across the circuit element in response to the first and second currents, and circuitry for measuring voltage across the reference circuit element in response to the first and second currents. A calibration factor is also determined for calibrating measured voltages across the circuit element, in response to a relationship between the first voltage, the second voltage, and the reference circuit element.

    Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for tuning an internal oscillator to a desired frequency F1 is shown and uses an RC delay element that comprises a resistor, a capacitor and a comparator. The method includes receiving a clock signal from an oscillator to be tuned, triggering charging of the RC delay element, and N clock cycles after triggering the charging, the method determines whether the charge on the precision RC delay element is higher than or lower than a reference voltage. Correction to the clock frequency is based on the results.
