ABSTRACT:
A CMOS delay cell with feedback circuitry to ensure that the delay cell is operating in saturation mode. A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) comprising a loop of an odd number of delay cells, where the VCO is operating in a saturation mode. Under normal operation any intermediate node in the VCO will generate an output signal from a delay cell with reduced supply noise. The output signal can be used to generate a PLL clock signal with a lower phase jitter than prior art VCO's operating at low supply potentials.
