Abstract

In one embodiment, the present invention includes an oscillator to generate a first frequency and a second frequency. The oscillator includes a plurality of stage cells, each stage cell including a first transistor of a first polarity and a second transistor of a second polarity, each coupled between a first voltage node and a first intermediate node and an inverter coupled to the first intermediate node. In operation, a difference between the first frequency and the second frequency is proportional to a threshold voltage of the second transistor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
