Abstract :
This paper presents a low-voltage, differential RC-ring oscillator for wireless communication systems, designed in a standard triple-well 90nm CMOS technology. This is a two-stage R-NMOS (resistor-NMOS logic) ring VCO. The oscillation frequency can be controlled from the DC voltage sources: the back-gate biasing voltage VBulk and/or the power supply VDD. The simulation results show a maximum oscillation frequency of 17GHz
