Estimating required driver strength in the resonant clock generator

A detailed analytical approach is proposed to determine the required driver strength in the resonant clock generator. The proposed approach reduces area and power overhead by eliminating the need to have switches with programmable widths and reference pulses with programmable duty cycles. Simulation results show accurate estimation of the required driver strength at short pulse widths. However, as the pulse width increase, accuracy reduces due to overestimation of the transistor driving capability.
