Abstract

In this paper, a PVT compensated, 10 MHz oscillator in 0.11 µm BCD9S (Bipolar CMOS DMOS) technology for embedded phase change memories (PCM) is reported. The proposed oscillator produces a frequency deviation of ±0.4% for typical corner, ±2% for slow corner and ±1.5% for fast corner around 10 MHz across −40 °C to 150 °C at a regulated supply of 1.8 V. It is a significant advancement in the existing state-of-the-art for frequency references.
