Abstract:
1. An oscillator, comprising: a first starved inverter; a second starved inverter, an inner inverter of the second starved inverter being cross-coupled to an inner inverter of the first starved inverter, the inner inverter of the first starved inverter and the inner inverter of the second starved inverter each including at least two transistors; a first inverter connected to output of the inner inverter of the first starved inverter; an output of the first inverter being supplied to an input of an outer inverter of the second starved inverter, the outer inverter of the second starved inverter including at least two transistors; a second inverter connected to output of the inner inverter of the second starved inverter, and an output of the second inverter being supplied to an input of an outer inverter of the first starved inverter, the outer inverter of the first starved inverter including at least two transistors.
