description <p>This paper presents a highly efficient digital frequency calibration method for ultra-low-power oscillators in wireless communication systems. This calibration method locks the ultra-low-power oscillator's output frequency to the reference clock of the wireless transceiver during its send- and receive-state to achieve frequency stability over process variation and temperature drifts. The introduced calibration scheme offers high jitter immunity and short locking periods overcoming frequency calibration errors for typical ultra-low-power oscillator's by utilizing non-linear segmented feedback levels. In measurements the proposed calibration method improves the frequency stability of an ultra-low-power 32&thinsp;kHz oscillator from 53 to 10&thinsp;ppm&thinsp;<span class="inline-formula"><sup>∘</sup></span>C<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−1</sup></span> over a wide temperature range for temperature drifts of less than 1&thinsp;<span class="inline-formula"><sup>∘</sup></span>C&thinsp;s<span class="inline-formula"><sup>−1</sup></span> with an estimated power consumption of 185&thinsp;nW while coping with relocking periods of 7&thinsp;ms.</p>
