Patent Images
1. A differential relaxation oscillator comprising:
- a differential swing booster configured to switch a plurality of capacitors to connect to a direct current (DC) power supply or a ground electrode based on a switching period; and
a comparator configured to adjust the switching period by comparing a voltage of each of the capacitors to a preset threshold voltage,wherein the capacitors are configured to be switched to connect to the DC power supply or the ground electrode such that a voltage difference between the capacitors is greater than or equal to a voltage of the DC power supply in each switching period.

Abstract
Disclosed is a differential relaxation oscillator using a differential structure that may stably maintain a differential voltage swing of capacitors despite an influence of an offset voltage and 1/f noise of a comparator, and also generate a dynamic current only at a point in time at which switching is performed, thereby minimizing power consumption.
