Noise in Relaxation Oscillators
نویسنده
چکیده
Thetiming jitter in relaxation oscillators is analyzed. This jitter is described by a single normalized equation whose solution allows prediction of noise in practical oscillators. The theory is confirmed by measurements on practical oscillators and is used to develop a prototype low noise oscillator with a measured jitter of 1.5 ppm rms.

A Phase Noise Reduction Technique in LC Cross-coupled Oscillators with Adjusting Transistors Operating Regions
In this paper, an intuitive analysis of a phase noise reduction technique is done, and then a modified structure is proposed to achieve higher phase noise reduction than the original one. This method reduces the impact of noise sources on the phase noise by decreasing closed-loop gain in zero-crossings points and moving this high closed-loop gain to the non-zero-crossings points. This reduction...

Both ring oscillators and relaxation oscillators are subsets of RC oscillators featuring large tuning ranges and small areas. Figure 19.5.1 shows a typical relaxation oscillator with a capacitor and two switched current sources. Such relaxation oscillators have two advantages with respect to ring oscillators: 1) they have a constant frequency tuning gain; and 2) their phase can be read out cont...
