Overview

The crystal oscillator macros are available in a wide range of industry-standard quartz crystals and MEMS resonators operating in the fundamental mode in the 32 kHz to 80 MHz range. These oscillators, which are both power and area efficient, have a programmable transconductance to allow users to find the optimal balance between jitter and power consumption. The macro is designed to be used with standard foundry ESD cells and has the ability to bypass the oscillator to allow feeding an external clock through the XIN pin. 

Key features

  • Cover a wide frequency range 32kHz - 80 MHz
  • Support fundamental mode quartz crystals and MEMS resonators
  • Programmable transconductance to match resonator parameters for best performance
  • Low jitter CMOS output clock

A Flexible 200kHz-20MHz Ring Oscillator in a 40nm CMOS Technology

In this paper, we present a flexible ring oscillator IP designed for a 40nm CMOS technology, whose oscillation frequency can be chosen from 200kHz to 20MHz. It was developed using a new design approach, in which analog IPs are designed from scratch to be flexible, employing modular blocks that can be easily customized. The IP is silicon proven. It works with a supply voltage of 1.2V and features 5% frequency accuracy, occupying an area of 0.0022mm2.

Creating a Frequency Plan for a System using a PLL

How do you ensure that every part of a system receives the clock it needs—without wasting power or sacrificing performance? The answer lies in creating a well-structured frequency plan built around a PLL.
