Abstract
An oscillator circuit includes a plurality of inverters connected in a cascade, at least first and second feedback taps, and alternation circuitry. The at least first and second feedback taps are configured to feed-back at least respective first and second output signals taken from at least respective first and second points in the cascade. The alternation circuitry is configured to derive an input signal from at least the first and second output signals by alternating between at least the first and second feedback taps, and to apply the input signal to an input of the cascade.
