Structured Oscillator Design

  • Chapter
Book cover Analog Circuit Design

Abstract

This paper presents a general design approach applied to the design of oscillators. The design approach is based on classification of oscillator circuits. From this classification rules for designing oscillators can be extracted. These design rules are used as a fast means to get to an overview of the design space and to focus the creativity of the designer to the spot where the real design challenge is. The structured oscillator design approach has led to insight such that new circuits where found. The key ideas in these circuits are also presented.
