Abstract

An oscillator calibration apparatus includes a counter, a comparator and an adjusting unit. The counter is utilized for receiving a first clock signal and a second clock signal, and utilizing the first clock signal to sample the second clock signal to generate at least one counting value, where the first clock signal is generated from a first oscillator, and the second clock signal is generated from a second oscillator different from the first oscillator; the comparator is coupled to the counter, and is utilized for comparing the counting value with a predetermined value to generate at least one calibration signal; and the adjusting unit is coupled to the comparator, and is utilized for adjusting a frequency of the second oscillator according to the calibration signal.
