CMOS realization of single-resistance-controlled and variable frequency dual-mode sinusoidal oscillators employing a single DVCCTA with all-grounded passive components

In this paper, two new designs are proposed for sinusoidal oscillators based on a single differential voltage current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DVCCTA). Each of the proposed circuits comprises a DVCCTA combined with passive components that simultaneously provides both voltage and current outputs. The first circuit is a DVCCTA-based single-resistance-controlled oscillator (SRCO) that provides independent control of the oscillation condition and oscillation frequency by using distinct circuit parameters. The second circuit is a DVCCTA-based variable frequency oscillator (VFO) that can provide independent control of the oscillation frequency by adjusting the bias current of the DVCCTA. In this paper, the DVCCTA and relevant formulations of the proposed oscillator circuits are first introduced, followed by the non-ideal effects, sensitivity analyses, frequency stability discussions, and design considerations. After using the 0.35-@mm CMOS technology of the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the HSPICE simulation results confirmed the feasibility of the proposed oscillator circuits.
