The designers of a self-clocked offset cancellation technique for comparators within a relaxation oscillator share their findings and explain why the resulting improvements in frequency drift and ...

A relaxation oscillator is an oscillator based upon the performance of a physical system’s resending to equilibrium after being disturbed. It is a dynamical system within the oscillator continuously ...

CMOS relaxation oscillators have emerged as a pivotal technology in modern integrated circuits, offering a balance between low power consumption and simplicity of design. These oscillators utilise the ...

Designers seeking a quick and easy frequency source often use a relaxation oscillator (Fig. 1) based on digital gates such as the 74HC14 inverter with hysteresis. The oscillator is also useful in ...
