  • Abstract
    This work presents measured data and analysis, accurately comparing three, four-stage ring oscillators. The delay cell topologies considered here include the linear source coupled, and two saturating types. Each oscillator is fabricated concurrently in a 1.8 V, 0.18 μm CMOS process and is characterized for phase noise, power consumption and tuning range.
