Abstract
A circuit generates a number of oscillations. The circuit includes a first branch with at least one delay line introducing symmetrical delays on rising edges and on falling edges and at least one asymmetrical delay element introducing different delays on rising edges and on falling edges. The circuit further includes a second branch looped back on the first branch and including at least one delay line introducing symmetrical delays on rising edges and on falling edges.
