Abstract:
A circuit includes an oscillator circuit to receive a bias current and generate an oscillating signal at an output node. A current differencing circuit subtracts a current at the output node from a reference current to generate a first current. In addition, a current mirroring circuit mirrors the first current to generate the bias current. An inverter stage is coupled to the output node, and includes an input branch configured to receive the oscillating signal and generate first and second control signals based upon the oscillating signal. At least one amplifying branch receives the first and second control signals and amplifies the first and second control signals. An output branch receives the amplified first and second control signals and generates an amplified version of the oscillating signal based upon the amplified first and second control signals.
