This paper presents the analysis of various oscillators that generate high frequency of oscillation for high speed communication, clock generation and clock recovery. The Ring oscillator and the Current Starved Voltage Controlled Oscillator(CSVCO) (for 5-stagewithout resistor and with resistor) have been implemented using the Cadence Virtuoso tool in 90 nm technology. The generated frequency of oscillation and the power consumption values of the voltage controlled oscillators have been calculated after inclusion in the PLL, and were also compared to identify the most suitable voltage controlled oscillator for a given application.

Towards the integration of Digital-LDO regulators in the ultra-low-power System-On-Chip Internet-of-Things architecture, the D-LDO architecture should constitute the main regulator for powering digital and mixed-signal loads including the SoC system clock. Such an implementation requires an in-regulator clock generation unit that provides an autonomous D-LDO design. In contrast to contemporary D-LDO designs that employ ring-oscillator architecture which start-up time is dependent on the oscillating frequency, this work presents a design with nano-power consumption, fabricated with an active area of 0.035 mm2 at a 55-nm Global Foundries CMOS process that introduces a fast start-up burst oscillator based on a high-gain stage with wake-up time independent of D-LDO frequency. In combination with linear search coarse regulation and asynchronous fine regulation, it succeeds 558 nA minimum quiescent current with CL 75 pF, maximum current efficiency of 99.2% and 1.16x power efficiency improvement compared to analog counterpart oriented to SoC-IoT loads.
