Abstract

This article describes a 2.1-MHz relaxation oscillator (RxO) for energy-harvesting Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensor nodes. The RxO features an asymmetric swing-boosted RC network and a dual-path comparator to surmount the challenges of sub-0.5-V operation while achieving temperature resilience. The former enables alternating the common-mode voltages at the output of the RC network to facilitate the sub-0.5-V operation, while the latter is outfitted with a delay generator for tracking the temperature-sensitive delay of the comparator. Prototyped in 28-nm CMOS, the RxO occupies a tiny footprint of 5,200 μ m². The power consumption is 1.4 μW at 0.35 V. The measured temperature stability is 158 ppm/°C (average of seven chips) over -20 °C-120 °C. It scores the best energy efficiency (667 fJ/cycle) among the reported MHz-range RxOs and has a figure-of-merit (181 dB) that compares favorably with the state-of-the-art.
