Abstract
Techniques to compensate for sources of temperature and process dependent errors within an oscillator system for frequency control oscillator output clock signal. The oscillator system may include a controller and an oscillator circuit. The techniques may include generating a pair of voltages, a first of which is temperature variant, having (approximately) known temperature variations across process, and a second of which is (approximately) temperature invariant. Each voltage may be scaled by a corresponding trim factor. The scaled voltages may be combined to generate a reference voltage. The reference voltage may compensate for process and temperature dependent error sources within the oscillator system to set the oscillator output clock signal frequency.
