Timing jitter of contemporary CMOS ring oscillators

Ring oscillators based on differential delay stage are very popular among contemporary ring oscillators. This is due to immunity to disturbances on the supply line. Close form expressions on timing jitter and phase noise are derived for such contemporary ring oscillators.
