Abstract
Apparatuses and methods are provided relating to a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based on current starved inverting delay stages; wherein in each stage a PMOS transistor as header and an NMOS transistor as footer are used with their gate-to-source voltages always equal to analog control voltage. The analog control voltage is also used as the supply voltage of the oscillator. An exemplary apparatus includes a VCO of n stages, where n is an odd number and where each stage includes a current starved inverter where the analog control voltage is also used as the supply voltage of each delay stage.
