    摘要: Temperature compensated oscillators and associated methods are disclosed. The oscillator may include an inverter with a variable load configured to provide different conductance values based on an operating temperature of the oscillator. The variable load includes two or more branches in parallel, where each branch has a unique conductance value different from each other. Further, the variable load is coupled to a temperature sensor that generates signals based on determining the operating temperature. The signals of the temperature sensor can activate one or more branches of the variable load. As a result, the inverter may trigger at different voltage levels such that variations in the frequency of the clock signal that the oscillator generates can be reduced across different operating temperatures.

    摘要: The present invention provides an oscillator circuit and a semiconductor integrated circuit, which can suppress the upper limit of the frequency of a clock signal due to an error of the constant current circuit. The oscillator circuit of the present invention includes a constant current circuit, an oscillator, and a current limiting circuit. The constant current circuit generates a first output current according to a supply voltage. The current limiting circuit receives the first output current and generates a second output current, and establishes an upper limit for the second output current when the supply voltage drops below a lower limit of a guaranteed operational range of the constant current circuit. The oscillator generates a clock signal according to the second output current. By establishing the upper limit for the second output current, the upper limit of the frequency of the clock signal can be suppressed.
