Abstract
A relaxation oscillator circuit with reduced sensitivity of oscillation frequency to comparator delay variation includes a first current source that generates charging current, a second current source coupled to the first current source to generate reference voltage, a resistor coupled to the second current source to enable generation of the reference voltage, a capacitor coupled to the first current source that is charged based on the charging current, a comparator responsive to voltage corresponding to the capacitor and the reference voltage to generate output voltage, a peak detector coupled to the capacitor to generate peak voltage, an error detector coupled to the peak detector and the second current source to generate an error based on the peak voltage and the reference voltage, and a controller coupled to the error detector to control one of the charging current, offset voltage input to the comparator, and capacitance of the capacitor.
