Abstract
A relaxation oscillator has a comparator that includes first through third bias current transistors coupled to a first supply rail. First and second input transistors form a pair of parallel coupled transistors connected to the first bias current transistor. A first current mirror control transistor connects the first input transistor to a second supply rail. A first current mirror output transistor is coupled to the first current mirror control transistor, and connects the second bias current transistor to the second supply rail. A second current mirror control transistor connects the second input transistor to the second supply rail. A second current mirror output transistor is coupled to the second current mirror control transistor, and connects the third bias current transistor to the second supply rail. A transition time reduction transistor, coupled across the third bias current transistor, is coupled to the second bias current transistor, and provides a comparator output.
