ABSTRACT:
A cascoded cmos differential delay element is described. The delay element provides a controlled delay useful in forming voltage controlled oscillators or other circuits. The delay element provides high gain enabling it to be useful in multistage delay element circuits. The circuit described includes cascoded complementary differential amplifiers and replicated bias clamps.
