Abstract

See full text

Five CMOS inverters are connected in a series ring to form an oscillator. Current to the inverters is controlled to establish gate delays of the inverters and thereby determine a frequency of oscillation of the oscillator. The oscillator is included in a phase locked loop where the gate delay of the inverters is selected by selecting the value of a frequency divider of the phase locked loop. The selected delay is used to form a train of pulses with a desired duty cycle.
