tailed discussion and analysis of the start-up and steady-state oscillation conditions for transistor LC oscillators with emphasis on CMOS devices. Part II presents both linear and nonlinear phase noise models for the parallel feedback and negative resistance oscillators. Each approach to the oscillator phase noise calculation has its own advantages and drawbacks. For example, the linear Leeson...

A simple memristive chaotic jerk system with one variable to represent the internal state is found. The proposed equilibria-free yields hidden oscillation in a narrow parameter space. circuit constructed that models system, and it shows agreement predicted oscillation. new appears be of algebraically simplest systems.

This paper reports the finding of a 3-scroll chaotic attractor with only three equilibria obtained via direct modification of Chua’s circuit. In addition, it is shown numerically that the new system can also generate one-scroll and two-scroll chaotic attractors. PACS numbers: 05.45.-a, 05.45.Gg.

The hippocampus is known to be involved in spatial learning in rats. Spatial learning involves the encoding and replay of temporally sequenced spatial information. Temporally sequenced spatial memories are encoded and replayed by the firing rate and phase of pyramidal cells and inhibitory interneurons with respect to ongoing network oscillations (theta and ripples). Understanding how the differ...

This paper presents a modified current differencing transconductance amplifier (MCDTA) and a MCDTA based quadrature oscillator. The oscillator is current-mode and provides current output from high output impedance terminals. The circuit uses only one MCDTA and two grounded capacitors, and is easy to be integrated. Its oscillation frequency can be tuned electronically by tuning bias currents of ...

A new low-cost test method for analog integrated circuits, called the oscillation test, is presented. During the test mode, the circuit under test (CUT) is converted to a circuit that oscillates. Faults in the CUT which deviate the oscillation frequency from its tolerance band can be detected. Using this test method, no test vector is required to be applied. Therefore, the test vector generatio...

The oscillation-test strategy is a low cost and robust test method for mixed-signal integrated circuits. Being a vectorless test method, it allows one to eliminate the analog test vector generator. Furthermore, as the oscillation frequency is considered to be digital, it can be precisely analyzed using pure digital circuitry and can be easily interfaced to test techniques dedicated to the digit...
