Low Voltage Ring Oscillator

Since the ring oscillator operates from a low voltage source it can be used in applications where power supply e g battery size is small e g pagers cellular phone applications.
Low voltage ring oscillator. A voltage controlled oscillator vco is an electronic oscillator whose oscillation frequency is controlled by a voltage input. The frequency of oscillator has a highly linear relationship with voltage. To let the oscillator function at 10 millivolt the gain of a single j fet appears not to be enough. This type of oscillator has a direct dc coupling between the gate and source by the winding n1 of the transformer.
Using the new delay cells a ring voltage controlled oscillator employing a three stage structure and multiple pass loop techniques is implemented in the 0 18 m single poly six metal 1p6m cmos process. A hartley type oscillator is chosen for this extreme low voltage design. The applied input voltage determines the instantaneous oscillation frequency. 328 338 may 2002.
