Patent ID: 7868706

Claim:
A device, comprising: a first oscillator device comprising: a first plurality of stages including an initial stage and a final stage, each of the first plurality of stages comprising: an input to receive an input signal; an output to provide an output signal; a first delay path coupled to the input and the output, the first delay path to provide, in response to a first signal transition at the input, a second signal transition at the output, the first signal transition and the second signal transition of the same transition type; and a reset module comprising an input connected to the output of the corresponding stage and an output coupled to the first delay path, the reset module configured to provide a reset signal in response to the second signal transition at the input of the reset module, the first delay path configured to provide a third signal transition at the output of the first delay path in response to the reset signal, the third signal transition of an opposite transition type to the first signal transition; and an output of the final stage coupled to an input of the initial stage.
