Clock generation circuit that track critical path across process, voltage and temperature variation. In accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, an integrated circuit device includes an oscillator electronic circuit on the integrated circuit device configured to produce an oscillating signal and a receiving electronic circuit configured to use the oscillating signal as a system clock. The oscillating signal tracks a frequency-voltage characteristic of the receiving electronic circuit across process, voltage and temperature variations. The oscillating signal may be independent of any off-chip oscillating reference signal.
