Abstract
Described is an apparatus to trim on-die passive components. The apparatus comprises: a resistor-capacitor (RC) dominated oscillator independent of first order transistor speed dependency, wherein the RC dominated oscillator including one or more resistors and capacitors with programmable resistance and capacitance, and wherein the RC dominated oscillator to generate an output signal having a frequency depending substantially on values of the programmable resistance and capacitance; and a trim-able resistor or capacitor operable to be trimmed, for compensating process variations, according to a program code associated with the programmable resistance and capacitance of the RC dominated oscillator.
