Abstract

See full text

A device and method can be used to manage the operation of a ring oscillator circuit. A master oscillator circuit generates a master supply voltage. The master supply voltage associated with a stable oscillation rate of the master oscillator circuit. The master oscillator circuit is supplied with current and is structurally identical to the ring oscillator circuit. A capacitive circuit is loaded with a load voltage originating from the master supply voltage. In response to a control signal, the ring oscillator circuit is supplied with a current controlled by a voltage delivered by the capacitive circuit, in such a way as to provide a stable oscillation rate for the ring oscillator circuit.
