Abstract
A clock oscillator embedded in an integrated circuit, including a piezoelectric resonator formed on the integrated circuit; a clock generator coupled to the on-chip piezoelectric resonator, one or more sensors adapted to sense one or more environmental parameters affecting the piezoelectric resonator; and a processor coupled to the clock generator and the one or more sensors to adjust the frequency of the clock generator based on the one or more environmental parameters.
