Period signal generation circuits
First Claim
1. A period signal generation circuit, the circuit comprising:
- a control voltage generator configured to select one of plurality of temperature-dependent voltages to output the selected temperature-dependent voltage as a control voltage; and
a period controller configured to determine an amount of a current discharging from an internal node in response to the control voltage and to output a periodic signal having a cycle time that is determined according to a level of an internal signal induced at the internal node, wherein the plurality of temperature-dependent voltages comprises the first and second temperature-dependent voltages varying according to a temperature and the third temperature-dependent voltage being constant regardless of the temperature.

Abstract
A period signal generation circuit including a control voltage generator and a period controller. The control voltage generator selecting one of temperature-dependent voltages to output the selected temperature-dependent voltage as a control voltage. The first and second temperature-dependent voltages varying according to a temperature and the third temperature-dependent voltage is constant regardless of variation of the temperature. The period controller configured to determine an amount of a current discharging from an internal node in response to the control voltage and outputs a periodic signal whose cycle time is determined according to a level of an internal signal induced at the internal node.
