Abstract

In this paper, a new method for computing the amplitude and frequency of differential ring oscillators (ROs) is proposed. The analysis is performed in two separate parts. In the first of these, equations are derived with the assumption of a sinusoidal waveform of outputs, while in the other, the outputs are assumed to be exponential. It is shown that the derived equations for frequency and amplitude are sufficiently exact. In addition, conditions in which sinusoidal and exponential output occur are thoroughly discussed. In the instances in which the results did not satisfy the necessary conditions for sinusoidal output, the output is assumed to be exponential. Moreover, the related analytical equations are written, and the new expressions for frequency and amplitude of ROs are derived. Analytical results are confirmed by simulation results, using the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company 0.18µm technology model. The simulation results indicate the high level of accuracy of the proposed model.
