Technical Field

Commonly used oscillation circuits include quartz crystal oscillation circuits, ring oscillation circuits, LC oscillation circuits, RC relaxation oscillation circuits, and the like. Although the quartz crystal oscillation circuit has extremely high stability, an external crystal oscillator is required, which undoubtedly increases the circuit area, the size and the cost of a product; the ring oscillator circuit has a simple structure, but has high dependence on external conditions such as a power supply, temperature and the like; the LC oscillating circuit is often applied to the occasion with higher frequency, the clock signal required by the TEG interface circuit is generally about 100kHz, and the LC oscillating circuit needs to use an inductor, which increases the circuit area. Therefore, the RC relaxation oscillation circuit is the preferred circuit for generating the oscillation signal by the TEG interface circuit.
At present, an RC relaxation oscillation circuit is widely used as a clock generation circuit in a TEG interface circuit, but the RC relaxation oscillation circuit is sensitive to temperature and process errors. The oscillation period of the RC relaxation oscillation circuit is mainly determined by three factors, namely a resistor R, a capacitor C and the delay time of a comparator, however, the three factors are very susceptible to temperature and process errors, and therefore, the conventional RC relaxation oscillation circuit needs to be optimized.
Therefore, based on the above analysis, the prior art has the following disadvantages: quartz crystal oscillation circuits, ring oscillation circuits and LC oscillation circuits are not suitable for TEG interface circuits; the traditional RC relaxation oscillation circuit is sensitive to external conditions such as temperature, process errors and the like, and the resistor R, the capacitor C and the delay time of the comparator are easily influenced.
The information disclosed in this background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art that is already known to a person skilled in the art.
