ABSTRACT:
An oscillator of the feedback amplifier type is described that employs a complementary bipolar transistors pair in which the collectors have a common connection with the output terminal. The oscillator operates from a single power supply, provides near rail-to-rail voltage swings, and hence may interface directly with CMOS logic. Because of the relatively low base-emitter voltages operation with supply voltages less than one volt is possible.
