New single resistance controlled oscillators employing a reduced number of unity-gain cells

Abstract

Recently, the authors introduced two new second-order single-resistance-controlled oscillators (SRCO) employing four/three unity-gain cells (unity-gain voltage followers and unity-gain current followers). In this communication, a novel family of SRCOs has been presented which employ a reduced number of (only two) unity-gain cells as active elements. The workability of the new circuits has been confirmed by the SPICE simulations of their CMOS-implementable versions. © 2004, The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers.
