These electronic devices are not powered on, and power supplies are widely used in many aspects of life. Clock generation circuits are important components of Integrated Circuit (IC) systems, and their performance directly affects the overall performance of the system. As the operating frequency of the chip is higher and higher, the requirement for the clock signal is also higher and higher, and the digitization of the switching power supply is a power supply trend.
