Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, we propose a fully integrated and area-efficient resistor-less relaxation oscillator (ROSC) for ultra-low power real-time clock (RTC) applications. The proposed ROSC is based on a conventional ROSC and modified to be area-efficient circuit configuration, without using resistors. The proposed ROSC consists of a bias current source, proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) voltage source, current mode ROSC, shunt regulator, and output logic circuit. The PTAT voltage source and shut regulator are used to compensate for the temperature characteristics of the ROSC. By implementing our proposed ROSC, the area was 0.022 mm2. Simulated results demonstrated that our proposed ROSC in a 65-nm CMOS process generates 32.5-kHz clock frequency and achieves ultra-low power dissipation of 271 nW. The temperature and voltage dependences of the oscillation frequency were 138ppm/ºC and 13.9ppm/mV, respectively. Monte Carlo statistical simulations showed that the mean, standard deviation, and the coefficient of variation are 32.3 kHz, 0.6 kHz, and 1.9%, respectively.
