Abstract :
A low power dissipation oscillator circuit in CMOS has been fabricated. The circuit uses inductors and capacitors to form a tank circuit while cross-coupled MOS devices provide the positive feedback to sustain oscillations. The inductors are formed on glass and are solder bumped to the die. The measured power dissipation is 1/10 of the simulated CV2F generated by conventional means
