description The lower bound on the power expended by an RC relaxation oscillator is decided by the RC network. This can be minimized by reducing the oscillation swing and increasing R. In the former technique, tighter comparator constraints limit power benefits while the latter technique increases resistor thermal noise bounding long-term jitter. To this end, this letter presents a fully integrated RC oscillator with core voltage aggressively scaled to subthreshold levels. A self-clocked switched-capacitor network is used to minimize voltage drop-out power loss. Full forward-body-biasing technique helps reduce device on-resistance. Additionally, temperature coefficient compensation for time constant is accomplished by poly resistors and a VTH-tracking reference scheme which avoids the use of diffusion resistors. This design is silicon-proven on 65-nm CMOS (0.0356-mm 2 area). The implementation has a 33-kHz clock with 32.2 nW at 1.2 V. Line sensitivity is within +0.7/-0.6% per volt across 16 samples for 1 to 1.5 V. Temperature sensitivity was measured to be 56 ppm/°C from 0°C to 85°C and measured Allan deviation
