Abstract

See full text

A constant-gm current source, arranged to generate a supply current for a Pierce oscillator. First and second transistors have source terminals connected to first and second supply rails, respectively, and drain terminals connected together and to the gate terminal of the first transistor. Third and fourth transistors have source terminals connected to the first and second supply rails, respectively, and drain terminals are connected together and to the gate terminal of the fourth transistor. An output portion varies the supply current in response to a voltage at the drain terminals of the third and fourth transistors. The gate terminals of the first and third transistors are connected together, and the gate terminals of the second and fourth transistors are connected together. An auto-calibration transistor has its source terminal connected to the first supply rail and its drain terminal connected to the source terminal of the first transistor.
