A novel low-voltage low-power ring oscillator was designed,which was implemented by an SMIC's 180 nm mixed signal processing technology. Based on the feedback theory,the regulation and conversion from supply voltage to operating voltage of ring oscillators was completed by employing an amplifier,generating superior operating voltage stability as well as lower consumption. Furthermore,a high output swing was obtained with an amplitude conversion circuit. The operating frequency of the oscillator was controlled by current,resulting in the reduced effect of oscillating signal on the supply voltage VDD and the depressed supply noise. The results demonstrate that the output frequency is 2.737 MHz,the consumption is 0.8 μW with a 1 V supply,and the phase noise at the phase point is -108.7 dB at 1 MHz offset. Meanwhile,the output frequency fluctuations are kept within 0.23% when the supply voltage varies between 0.9 V and 2.1 V,which is reasonable in passive chip design.
