Abstract: A semiconductor device including a bandgap reference generator that generates a reference voltage; a switch control voltage generator that generates a first reference current based on the reference voltage, and generates an adaptive switch level voltage by distributing the first reference current to a first path and a second path, the first path including a first resistor, and the second path including a second resistor and a first bipolar junction transistor connected in series; and a switch controller that generates a switch control signal for controlling switches included in the bandgap reference generator based on the adaptive switch level voltage. The adaptive switch level voltage has a slope with respect to temperature that is greater than a base-emitter voltage of the first bipolar junction transistor.

Abstract: A device includes an oscillator including at least one inductor and at least one capacitor and configured to generate, based on a positive supply voltage, an output signal oscillating in a resonance frequency of the at least one inductor and the at least one capacitor. The device further includes an oscillation detector configured to determine whether the output signal oscillates based on a clock signal and increase a loop gain of the oscillator until the output signal oscillates.
