A Novel Differential Colpitts CMOS Oscillator Circuit Topology

Abstract

This paper reports a novel differential Colpitts LC oscillator circuit topology designed in 28 nm fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) CMOS technology. It exploits magnetic coupling between the spirals of the LC tank,... [ view full abstract ]
