Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A multi-phase oscillator circuit, the circuit comprising:
multiple level translator circuits, each level translator circuit including a first input transistor, a second input transistor, and an output;
a ring oscillator circuit including multiple stages, a control voltage input, and multiple outputs, wherein each output of the ring oscillator has a different phase;
wherein the control voltage input is a first circuit supply for the multiple stages of the ring oscillator circuit; and
wherein an output of the ring oscillator is only coupled to one input transistor of a level translator circuit, and the other input transistor of the level translator circuit is coupled to an output of another level translator circuit and the level translator circuit is connected to a second circuit supply rail.
