  • Abstract
    A nonquartz based high stability 32 kHz oscillator for real time clock applications using Si MEMS technology is demonstrated. This oscillator achieves a power consumption of less than 1muW which is similar to quartz-based products. This oscillator has been realized in a 0.35 mum CMOS process
