Abstract
This paper presents the design and measurements of a temperature-compensated real-time clock based on a silicon resonator. The system exhibits timekeeping accuracy of ±4ppm over the −40 to 85°C temperature range. The current implementation is based on a TIA-based oscillator with a 27kHz MEMS resonator, a differential PTAT temperature sensor and a 2nd order ΣΔ ADC. The temperature compensation is performed by an on-chip DSP block. The system consumes 2μA of current and operates at 1.8V nominal supply. The resonator operates off a 1.2V DC bias without the need for a charge-pump or providing an external higher DC voltage. The integrated electronics interface has been implemented using a standard 0.18μm CMOS process.
