Silicon Creations Receives 10th Consecutive TSMC OIP Partner of the Year Award for Mixed Signal IP
Recognition reflects over 15 years of collaboration and production success supporting customers across advanced TSMC process technologies
Vendor:
Silicon Creations
Category:
Oscillator
Free-running oscillators
Ideal for use as watch-dog timers and core clock generators for MCUs and low-power chips with competitive features.
Overview
These free-running oscillators are ideal for use as watch-dog timers and core clock generators for MCUs and low-power chips with competitive features. No external components are required.
Silicon proven or mass production in 2n, 3n, 4/5n, 6/7n, 12/16n, 22n, 28n & 40n at TSMC.
Key features
- Fully integrated. No pins or external compo nents needed.
- Uses only baseline logic process masks.
- Up to 12-bit frequency programmability to calibrate out process variations (within ±6 sigma process window).
- Low frequency variation due to supply volt age changes: <60ppm/mV.
- Total frequency variation down to ±1% across voltage, temperature, and aging.
- Low period jitter <2% of clock period, peak to-peak.
- Low area (e.g. 0.004mm² @ 2n)
