[0058] In a possible implementation, the oscillation circuit of the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include an output unit for buffering and then outputting the first signal OUT. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific implementation of the output unit.
[0059] The following is an exemplary introduction to possible implementations of the low-frequency oscillation circuit.
[0060] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2A schematic diagram of a low-frequency oscillation circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0070] The source of the third PMOS transistor MP3 is connected to the source of the fourth PMOS transistor MP4 for receiving the power supply voltage VDD, and the drain of the third PMOS transistor MP3 is connected to the source of the fifth PMOS transistor MP5.
[0071] The gate of the fifth PMOS transistor MP5 is connected to the gate of the second NMOS transistor MN2 and is used to receive the first signal OUT.
[0072] The drain of the fifth PMOS transistor MP5 is connected to the drain of the second NMOS transistor MN2, the first end of the first capacitor C1, and the gate of the fourth PMOS transistor MP4.

[0074] The gate of the third NMOS transistor MN3 is connected to the gate of the first NMOS transistor MN1 (the connection point is N_BIAS),
[0075] The drain of the third NMOS transistor MN3 is connected to the drain of the fourth PMOS transistor MP4 and the input terminal of the third inverter N3.
[0076] The output end of the third inverter N3 is connected to the input end of the fourth inverter N4 , and the output end of the fourth inverter N4 is connected to the first input end of the first NAND gate NAND1 .
[0077] In a possible implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the second delay oscillation unit 220 may include a sixth PMOS transistor MP6, a seventh PMOS transistor MP7, an eighth PMOS transistor MP8, a fourth NMOS transistor MN4, a fifth NMOS transistor MN5, a second capacitor C2, a fifth inverter N5, and a sixth inverter N6, wherein:
[0078] The gate of the sixth PMOS transistor MP6 is connected to the gate of the third PMOS transistor MP3, the gate of the first PMOS transistor MP1 and the gate of the second PMOS transistor MP2 (the connection point is P_BIAS), the source of the sixth PMOS transistor MP6 is connected to the source of the seventh PMOS transistor MP7 for receiving the power supply voltage VDD, and the drain of the sixth PMOS transistor MP6 is connected to the source of the eighth PMOS transistor MP8.
[0079] The gate of the eighth PMOS transistor MP8 is connected to the gate of the fourth NMOS transistor MN4 for receiving the second signal A2.
[0080] The drain of the eighth PMOS transistor MP8 is connected to the drain of the fourth NMOS transistor MN4, the first end of the second capacitor C2, and the gate of the seventh PMOS transistor MP7.
[0081] The source of the fourth NMOS transistor MN4 is connected to the second end of the second capacitor C2, the source of the fifth NMOS transistor MN5 and the ground VSS.
[0082] The gate of the fifth NMOS transistor MN5 is connected to the gate of the first NMOS transistor MN1 (the connection point is N_BIAS),
[0083] The drain of the fifth NMOS transistor MN5 is connected to the drain of the seventh PMOS transistor MP7 and the input terminal of the fifth inverter N5.
[0084] The output end of the fifth inverter N5 is connected to the input end of the sixth inverter N6 , and the output end of the sixth inverter N6 is connected to the first input end of the first NAND gate NAND1 .
[0085] The disclosed embodiment simplifies circuit design, saves costs, generates a square wave with a duty cycle of about 50%, and improves circuit operating efficiency by setting the first delay oscillation unit and the second delay oscillation unit to be symmetrical.
[0086] In a possible implementation manner, the width-to-length ratio of the third PMOS transistor MP3, the fourth PMOS transistor MP4, the sixth PMOS transistor MP6, and the seventh PMOS transistor MP7 is the same as the width-to-length ratio of the first PMOS transistor MP1 and the second PMOS transistor MP2.
[0087] The first NMOS transistor MN1 , the third NMOS transistor MN3 , and the fifth NMOS transistor MN5 have the same width-to-length ratio.
[0088] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the width-to-length ratio of the third PMOS transistor MP3, the fourth PMOS transistor MP4, the sixth PMOS transistor MP6, and the seventh PMOS transistor MP7 to be the same as the width-to-length ratio of the first PMOS transistor MP1 and the second PMOS transistor MP2, and the width-to-length ratio of the first NMOS transistor MN1, the third NMOS transistor MN3, and the fifth NMOS transistor MN5 to be the same, the drain current Ir1 of the third PMOS transistor, the drain current Ir2 of the fourth PMOS transistor, the drain current Ir3 of the sixth PMOS transistor, and the drain current Ir4 of the seventh PMOS transistor can be equal and equal to the reference current Ir, so that low-frequency oscillation is achieved using the reference current Ir to generate an oscillation signal (first signal) whose oscillation frequency is independent of the power supply voltage.
[0089] In a possible implementation manner, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 have the same capacitance.
[0090] In a possible implementation manner, an oscillation frequency of the first signal OUT is related to the resistor R, the first capacitor C1, and the second capacitor C2.
[0091] The following is an exemplary introduction to the principles implemented by the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0092] In a possible implementation manner, the second NAND gate NAND2 may also receive an enable signal EN input by an external controller to control the operation of the oscillation circuit.
[0093] In one example, when the input enable signal EN=0, Figure 2 As shown, signal F2=1, signal A1=0, signal B1=1, signal D1=0, signal E1=0, signal F1=1; at the same time, signal A2=1, signal B2=0, signal D2=1, signal E2=1.
[0094] In an example, when the input enable signal EN changes from 0 to 1, since the first delay oscillation unit and the second delay oscillation unit are symmetrical, the second delay oscillation unit is taken as an example to perform logic analysis and formula derivation.
[0095] When the enable signal EN changes from 0 to 1, the second signal A2 changes from 1 to 0. At this time, the level of the signal point B2 starts to charge from 0. When the signal B2 is charged to VDD-VGSP7 (VGSP7 represents the gate-source voltage of the seventh PMOS transistor), the seventh PMOS transistor MP7 is just in the off state. When the voltage at the signal point B2 continues to increase, the seventh PMOS transistor MP7 is turned off. After the seventh PMOS transistor MP7 is turned off, the signal D2 changes from 1 to 0. At this time, the signal E2 also changes from 1 to 0, completing the delay of the second signal A2. Because the delay time of the logic gate can be ignored relative to the charging time of the capacitor, the delay time of the second delay oscillation unit can be deduced as follows.
[0096] In one example, the charging formula for a capacitor may be:
[0097] Q=I r3 *T f =(VDD-V GSP7 )*C 2 Formula 1
[0098] Where Q represents the charge of the capacitor, I r3 represents the drain current Ir3 of the sixth PMOS transistor, VDD represents the power supply voltage, C2 represents the capacitance of the second capacitor, T f Indicates charging time.
[0099] From formula 1, the charging time of the capacitor can be deduced:
[0100] T f =(VDD-V GSP7 )*C 2 / I r3 Formula 2
[0101] As mentioned above, the reference current I r It can be expressed as:
[0102] I r =(V DD -V GSP1 ) / R Formula 3
[0103] Among them, V GSP1 represents the gate-source voltage of the first PMOS transistor, and R represents the resistance of the resistor R.
[0104] Since Ir=Ir3=Ir4, C1=C2,
[0105] According to the current formula in the saturation region:
[0106]
[0107] Among them, at this time, if the current I and the width-to-length ratio W / L are equal, ignoring the offset effect, it can be considered that VGSP7=VGSP1 (K and Vth in the formula are process parameters, and it can be basically considered that all PMOS tubes have these two parameters are equal; all NMOS tubes have these two parameters are equal). Therefore, at this time, VGSP7 is approximately VGSP1, simplifying the charging time (second time):
[0108] T f =(VDD-V GSP7 )*C 2 / I r3 =(VDD-V GSP7 )*C 2 / ((V DD -V GSP1 ) / R)=R*C 2 Formula 5
[0109] Similarly, the charging time (first time) of the upper part (first delay oscillation unit) can be deduced:
[0110] T r =(VDD-V GSP4 )*C 1 / I r1 =(VDD-V GSP4 )*C 1 / ((V DD -V GSP1 ) / R)=R*C 1 Formula 6
[0111] According to Formula 5 and Formula 6, the total charging time can be obtained:
[0112] T t =T r +T f =R*C 1 +R*C 2 =2*R*C 1 Formula 7
[0113] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an oscillation time according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0114] In one example, if Figure 3 As shown, a clock cycle Tt = Tr + Tf, Tr / Tf is the delay generated by the upper and lower symmetrical circuits. By controlling different charging times, different Tr and Tf are generated, resulting in different delay times Tt. The relationship between frequency and delay time is F = 1 / T t .
[0115] It can be seen that the total time Tt It has nothing to do with the power supply voltage VDD, that is, the oscillation frequency has nothing to do with the power supply voltage VDD.
[0116] In the low-frequency oscillation circuit proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure, both the first delay oscillation unit and the second delay oscillation unit use the reference current delay signal generated by the reference current generating module, so that the oscillation frequency of the first signal output by the oscillation circuit is related to the first time and the second time, and is independent of the power supply voltage, thereby eliminating the influence of the power supply voltage on the oscillation frequency and improving the stability of the oscillation frequency.
[0117] The frequency of the above oscillation circuit is less affected by the power supply, the frequency is stable under a wide power supply voltage, and the cost is low and the occupied area is small.
