Abstract
There is provided an oscillator arrangement for generating a clock signal. The oscillator arrangement comprises a current controlled oscillator, a frequency to voltage converter, and an operational amplifier. The oscillator arrangement is connectable to a supply voltage source. In one embodiment, the oscillator arrangement may achieve a stable clock frequency insensitive to supply and temperature variation with low current consumption and low area. This may be achieved by using Vref and Vout as input signals to the operational amplifier, both signals being directly derived from the supply voltage. In a further embodiment, a trimming resistor may be used in the frequency to voltage converter for adjusting the frequency.
