Abstract:
1. A resonant oscillator circuit, comprising: a first phase output; a second phase output; a first inductor with a constant potential terminal coupled to an input voltage and a time-varying potential terminal coupled to the first phase output; a second inductor with a constant potential terminal coupled to the input voltage and a time-varying potential terminal coupled to the second phase output; a first n-type transistor with a source terminal coupled to a base voltage, a drain terminal coupled to the first phase output, and a gate terminal coupled to the second phase output; a second n-type transistor with a source terminal coupled to the base voltage, a drain terminal coupled to the second phase output, and a gate terminal coupled to the first phase output; and a startup circuit configured to commence oscillations in the resonant oscillator circuit by energizing the first inductor before energizing the second inductor.
