Abstract:
There is provided relaxation oscillator. The relaxation oscillator includes: a ramp wave generator generating ramp waves by a complementary operation between a first capacitor module charged and discharged according to a first switching signal and a second capacitor module charged and discharged according to a second switching signal; a negative feedback circuit unit generating a compensation voltage for compensating errors with reference voltage by being fedback with the ramp waves; and a switching signal generator generating the first switching signal controlling the charging and discharging of the first capacitor module and the second switching signal controlling the charging and discharging of the second capacitor module from the compensation voltage and the ramp waves. As a result, the present invention can generate ramp waves having a stable frequency while preventing a frequency from being changed due to a delay or an offset of the comparator.
