Title
A low-voltage mobility-based frequency reference for crystal-less ULP radios.
Abstract
The design of a 100 kHz frequency reference based on the electron mobility in a MOS transistor is presented. The proposed low-voltage low-power circuit requires no off-chip components, making it suitable for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) applications. After one-point calibration the spread of its output frequency is less than 1.1% (3 sigma) over the temperature range from -22 degrees C to 85 degrees C. Fabricated in a baseline 65-nm CMOS technology, the frequency reference occupies 0.11 mm(2) and draws 34 A from a 1.2-V supply at room temperature.
