Abstract:
The invention discloses a PVT-independent current-controlled oscillator, including a PV-controller, a current-controlled oscillator and a T-controller. The current-controlled oscillator is coupled to the PV-controller and outputs an oscillation frequency. The T-controller is coupled to the PV-controller and the current-controlled oscillator, providing a total current to be shared by the PV-controller and the current-controlled oscillator, wherein the PV-controller decreases the shared current of the current-controlled oscillator by increasing the shared current of the PV-controller if the oscillation frequency is higher than a predetermined frequency due to a process variation of the current-controlled oscillator, and increases the shared current of the current-controlled oscillator by decreasing the shared current of the PV-controller if the oscillation frequency is lower than the predetermined frequency due to the process variation of the current-controlled oscillator, thereby dynamically adjusting the oscillation frequency.
