TL;DR: In this paper, two versatile switched-capacitor (SC) oscillators using the proposed excess phase jitter suppression technique are described, and the jitter and the dependence of the oscillation frequency on the saturation voltages of operational amplifiers (op-amp) or comparators are eliminated.
Abstract: A practical jitter cancellation method for relaxation SC oscillators is presented. Two versatile switched-capacitor (SC) oscillators using the proposed excess phase jitter suppression technique are described. The jitter and the dependence of the oscillation frequency on the saturation voltages of operational amplifiers (op-amp) or comparators are eliminated. Therefore, there is no oscillation frequency limitation, except the one determined by the Nyquist rate. Because the frequency of oscillation of the proposed SC oscillators depends on a capacitor ratio and a reference voltage, the oscillators have excellent stability and accuracy. Experimental results showed good agreement with theoretical ones.
