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 9):
The oscillator circuit according to  claim 1 , wherein the first transistor, the second transistor and the reference transistor are n-channel field-effect transistors (FETs).
