Abstract
A novel and useful RF oscillator suitable for use in applications requiring ultra-low voltage and power. The oscillator structure, employing alternating current source transistors, combines the benefits of low supply voltage operation of conventional NMOS cross-coupled oscillators together with high current efficiency of the complementary push-pull oscillators. In addition, the 1/f noise upconversion is also reduced. The oscillator can be incorporated within a wide range of circuit applications, including for example a conventional phase locked loop (PLL), all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL), wireline transceiver circuits and mobile devices.
