Abstract:
An oscillator circuit including a ring oscillator and a reference current source is provided. The ring oscillator includes an odd number of inverter stages. Each inverter stage includes a first transistor having a first reference threshold that varies over temperature. The reference current source is configured to generate a plurality of currents, where a respective current is applied directly to the drain of a respective first transistor of a respective inverter stage. The reference current source includes a reference transistor that has a second reference threshold that varies over temperature; a resistor coupled between a gate and a source of the reference transistor; a second transistor having a source coupled to the gate of the reference transistor for generating a reference current that flows through the resistor to regulate a voltage of the resistor to the second threshold voltage; and a current mirror configured to generate the plurality of currents.

Claim (Index 6):
The oscillator circuit according to  claim 1 , wherein the first transistor of each inverter stage and the reference transistor are manufactured using the same technology and have the same dimension, wherein the first and second reference thresholds vary similarly with temperature.
