Abstract: The traditional oscillators are limited by their material characteristics and structural configuration, exhibiting a low oscillation frequency and low output power under pressure input. This ...

Abstract: A hybrid voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) architecture based on a ring oscillator with inductive loading is proposed. It exhibits a better phase noise/power figure-of-merit (FOM) than a ...

This circuit emulates the functionality of the classic 555-Timer IC. It was designed using open-source tools and was taped-out in the Skywater 130nm CMOS process through TinyTapeout on April 19th 2024 ...
