    Abstract: Methods and apparatus generate an oscillating output signal having a voltage swing greater than a voltage swing across nodes of active devices. An example oscillator includes a tank to generate an oscillating output signal in response receiving an edge of an enable signal; a feedback generator including a first gain stage forming a first feedback loop with the tank, the first feedback loop providing a first charge to maintain the oscillating output signal and a second gain stage forming a second feedback loop with the tank, the second feedback loop providing a second charge to maintain the oscillating output signal, the first and second charges combining with the oscillating output signal to generate a high voltage swing; and an attenuator connected between the tank and the feedback generator to isolate the tank from active components of the feedback generator.

    Abstract: A signal detection circuit includes a signal input terminal, a rectifier circuit, a comparator circuit; a current source, and a comparator output terminal. The rectifier circuit is coupled to the signal input terminal and is configured to receive an input signal and generate a rectified signal based on the input signal. The comparator circuit is coupled to the rectifier circuit and is configured to receive a common mode signal and to generate a difference current based on a difference of the common mode signal and the rectified signal. The current source is coupled to the comparator circuit and is configured to generate a reference current. The comparator output terminal is configured to provide an output signal based on a difference of the reference current and the difference current.

    Abstract: A low power radio frequency envelope detector includes a charging transistor for controlling the charge supplied to an output capacitor. A first input capacitor couples an input signal to a gate of the charging transistor. A second input capacitor couples a first polarity of the input signal to a first diode such that the first diode is operable to couple charge to the first input capacitor and to the gate of the charging transistor in response to a positive excursion of the first polarity of the input signal. A third input capacitor couples a second polarity of the input signal to a second diode coupled in series with the first diode. The first and second diodes are operable to couple charge to the first input capacitor and to the gate of the charging transistor in response to a positive excursion of the first polarity of the input signal.
