Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling a supply sensitivity of a ring oscillator stage are provided. The apparatus is configured to generate, via a voltage biasing module, a first bias signal for a PMOS biasing module based on a supply voltage and a second bias signal for a NMOS biasing module based on the supply voltage, bias, via the PMOS biasing module, triode PMOS degeneration of the inverting module based on the first bias signal, bias, via the NMOS biasing module, triode NMOS degeneration of the inverting module based on the second bias signal, receive an input via an inverting module, and output, via the inverting module, an inverted version of the received input based on the biased triode NMOS degeneration and the biased triode PMOS degeneration.
