12.5 Conclusions
Two oscillator circuit examples clearly illustrate that it is possible to design oscillator circuits using either external or on-chip inductors. The low quality factor of on-chip inductors results in high resonator power and overall power consumption. A good alternative is to use an inductor on a separate substrate flipped onto the chip or an inductor etched on the PCB of the package (BGA).
