A clock generator includes an oscillator that generates a clock signal as an output of the clock generator, where the frequency of the clock signal is dependent on a bias current. A feedback circuit receives the clock signal and generates a feedback signal indicative of a frequency of the clock signal. A voltage detector generates a charged voltage using the feedback signal, compares a source voltage with the charged voltage, and generates a detection signal indicative of the comparison between the source voltage and the charged voltage. A control voltage generator generates a control voltage using the detection signal. The bias current is generated by a bias current source using the control voltage.

Clock generator and method for generating clock signal

A latch comparator which includes a preamplifier and a latch circuit. The preamplifier circuit operates amplification on a pair of differential input signals, and generates a pair of pre-amplified differential signals. The latch circuit receives the pre-amplified differential signals, compares the pair of pre-amplified differential signals, and generates a pair of latched comparison signals. The latch circuit includes a latch and a switch circuit. First and second input terminals of the latch receive the pre-amplified differential signals. The switch circuit includes a switch coupling between one of the first and second input terminals of the latch and the preamplifier circuit. The switch receives one of the pair of latched comparison signals as a control signal, and is switched in response to the one of the latched comparison signal.

A clock generator that generates an output clock signal, includes a clock generating circuit that generates an internal clock signal, first and second filter circuits, and an output gate. The first filter circuit receives the internal clock signal and an enable signal, and provides a first filtered enable signal in response to the enable signal having a duration of at least two cycles of the clock signal. The second filter circuit receives the first filtered enable signal, provides a second filtered enable signal in response to the first filtered enable signal, and provides a delayed signal that is a delayed version of the second filtered enable signal. The output gate receives the internal clock signal from the clock generating circuit and the second filtered enable signal from the second filter circuit, and generates the output clock signal.

Glitch-free clock generator and method for generating glitch-free clock signal

A relaxation oscillator for generating a low temperature coefficient (LTC) clock signal includes a reference voltage generator and an oscillator. The reference voltage generator generates an LTC current and a bandgap reference voltage. The reference voltage generator includes positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistors to compensate for the effects of temperature variations. The oscillator receives the LTC current and the bandgap reference voltage, and generates a clock signal. In another embodiment, the reference voltage generator generates a charge current that varies with temperature. The oscillator receives the charge current and generates first and second output signals. Set and reset comparators include PTC resistors that determine the gains of the set and reset comparators. The PTC resistors compensate for variation in the first and second output signals due to the temperature variations by varying the gains of the set and reset comparators.

Low temperature coefficient clock signal generator

A touch sensor interface includes one or more touch detection electrodes whose capacitance increases when touched. A processor converts the increase in capacitance into a change in a counter value. A detector compares the change in the counter value with one or more count thresholds to detect faults in the touch sensor interface.
