ABSTRACT:
Maximum frequency range in a CMOS voltage-controllable crystal oscillator is obtained with a two-stage amplifier with feedback across both stages. The first stage is connected in source-follower configuration to minimize input capacitance, and the second stage provides the needed gain. To eliminate body effect, the source electrode and body of the second stage CMOS device are connected together. A bidirectional voltage limiter connected to a crystal node limits the oscillations to a symmetrical waveform. Changes in effective duty cycle caused by the different triggering levels of diverse logic connected to the oscillator output are compensated for by selectively shifting dc bias to a buffer amplifier.
