There are many benefits [1] which result from the use of feedback in electronic circuits, but the drawbacks are the increased complexity of the calculations and the opportunity for the resulting circuit to ring or oscillate. This paper employs graphical techniques to simplify stability calculations, thus enabling the designer to achieve a stable, well behaved circuit which meets all reasonable ...

A third order harmonic oscillator has been proposed based on the resonant tunneling diode pair oscillators. This oscillator has significant advantages, good stability of the oscillation frequency against the load impedance change together with capability to output higher frequencies. Proper circuit operation has been demonstrated using circuit simulations. It has been also shown that the output...

True random number generator (TRNG) is a critical component in hardware security that increasingly important the era of mobile computing and internet things. A memristor promising candidate to construct TRNG due its intrinsic variability switching behavior high-density integration.

Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is an important building block in wireless communication system. In this paper a five stage current starved Voltage Controlled Oscillator (CMOS VCO) is designed which is used in Phase Lock Loop (PLL). The design is implemented on CADENCE VIRTUOSO Platform with high oscillation frequency and low power dissipation. The oscillation frequency of the designed VCO ...

We present a direct method for the steady-state and stability analysis of autonomous circuits with transmission lines and generic nonlinear elements. With the discretization of the equations that describe the circuit in the time domain, we obtain a nonlinear algebraic formulation where the unknowns to determine are the samples of the variables directly in the steady state, along with the oscill...

In this letter, a 1.25-Gb/s 0.18-μm CMOS half-rate burstmode clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit is presented. The CDR contains a fast-locking clock recovery circuit (CRC) using a realigned oscillation technique to recover the desired clock. To reduce the power dissipation, the CRC uses a two-stage ring structure and a current-reused concept to merge with an edge detector. The recovered clock...

The novel current-tunable voltage-mode universal biquad filter and sinusoidal quadrature oscillator using only two current-controlled current differencing buffered amplifiers (CCCDBAs) and two capacitors without external passive resistors have been presented. The first proposed filter realizes all the five standard types of the biquadratic functions and provides independent electronic tuning of...

The applications for the LMX2240 IF Receiver are discussed. Practical limitations of high frequency IF demodulators are examined, and methods to cope with these limitations are introduced. Specifically, methods to reduce the susceptibility to oscillation are given, and include layout considerations as well as circuit implementations. In addition, the demodulator tank circuit is examined in deta...

Oscillations are a pervasive feature of neuronal activity in the cerebral cortex. Here, we propose a framework for understanding local cortical oscillation patterns in cognition: two classes of network interactions underlying two classes of cognitive functions produce different local oscillation patterns. Local excitatory-inhibitory interactions shape neuronal representations of sensory, motor ...

A high-speed capacitance difference-to-sum ratio measurement circuit is presented for differential capacitance transducers. It consists of a switched-capacitor input stage, two sample-and-hold (S/H) circuits followed by voltage-to-current (V/I) converters, and a current-ratio-controlled relaxation oscillator. This circuit offers a square-wave output whose oscillation period is directly proporti...
