A fully differential translinear 3-phase sinusoidal oscillator architecture is presented. The architecture is meant for BiCMOS implementation and uses only NPN devices, typically of higher performance than their PNP counterparts in most technologies. The architecture features both frequency and amplitude control and expressions are derived showing...

... block diagram of the proposed 3-phase oscillator is shown in Fig. 1. It consists of 3 identical modules acting as 1 st order low-pass filters, each having a gain of 1 and inserting a phase shift of 60 o in the loop at the frequency of oscillation. The additional 180 o needed for oscillations are provided by signal inversion at the output of each ...

This paper presents a new method to reduce the standby leakage power consumption using the body bias and pin reordering technique for nanometer-scale CMOS circuits. The proposed method, unlike the conventional reverse body biasing (RBB) technique, considers gate leakage to minimize the negative effects of the existing RBB approach. This minimizatio...
