Abstract
In examples, an oscillator comprises a reference voltage generator circuit configured to increase and decrease a reference voltage responsive to each pulse of a clock signal based on a comparison of the reference voltage to upper and lower boundaries. The oscillator also comprises an oscillation circuit coupled to the reference voltage generator circuit and configured to provide the clock signal, the clock signal having a frequency that varies based on the reference voltage.
