Accordingly, one can derive a chaotic oscillator called chaos encryption, in which data signals can be secured from any sinusoidal or relaxation oscillator. Motivated by by hiding them within a chaotic signal. Relying on chaos this, we set out to modify the well known resistor-capacitor synchronization the original messages can then be safely (RC) phase shift oscillator, described as early as 1941 in recovered [1]. Also, the long-term unpredictability of the reference [13] to produce chaos. It has been used previously chaotic signal makes these systems well suited for true random as the basis for chaotic circuits. Hosokawa et al. report bit generation [2]. In robotics, chaotic signals are being used on chaos in a system of two such oscillators, coupled by in neural control networks or as chaotic path generators [3]. a diode [14]. They analyze the system as two nonlinearly Finally, from a more fundamental point of view, a shift in coupled linear oscillators.

In all these applications, a need exists built using operational amplifiers, however the RC-ladder is for flexible and preferably low cost chaotic circuits. Discrete unmodified [15].

This subcircuit adds a new equilibrium R 1 in which transistor Q1 is also biased as an active amplifier, enabling oscillations. It is clear that for low R4 or low Vp, v v i CE1 v1 2 vBE1 transistor Q2 does not conduct and the circuit reduces to B1 the unmodified phase shift oscillator. The base oscillation RRR1 frequency in the chaotic operating regime for R = 44 kΩ, CCC 4 Q1 Vp = 5 V is approximately 44 kHz. The circuit consumes 3:1 mW at 5 V. In Figure 2, we show the time trace of vCE1. The dynamical behavior consists of jumps between two states R 3 R 2 of high and low voltage of the collector of Q . In between v 2 i CE2 these jumps growing oscillations are observed on the collector vBE2 B2 of Q1. Note that the collector voltage of Q2 has an almost RCQ 4 2 2 binary distribution. In Figure 3(a), we show an oscilloscope picture of vCE1 vs. vCE2 for R4 = 44 kΩ and Vp = 5 V, from which the bistable oscillations around two unstable equilibria are clearly visible.

For R4 = 0 kΩ the 1 subcircuit is inactive such that a simple limit cycle exists (not CE2 v shown). Close to R4 = 30 kΩ [Figure 4(a)] we see a period 0.5 doubling bifurcation. At R4 = 31:6 kΩ [Figure 4(b)] a critical CE1 v slowing down occurs as shown by the point of high intensity 0 on the analog oscilloscope picture. This value marks the onset of a bistable operation. Subsequent period doublings lead to 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 chaos as seen in Figure 4(d) and Figure 4(e).

The design of RC oscillator is implemented using 0.18um CMOS process. The modern mobile systems need system clock which consumes low power and thus saves limited battery power in order to wake up from sleep-mode. A RC oscillator operates in the subthreshold region to reduce current consumption. The output frequency of RC oscillator is very weakly dependent on process and temperature variation using auto-calibration. This RC oscillator is featured as follows: the current consumption is 0.2 ㎂; the supply voltage is 1.8V; the output frequency is 31.25 KHz with 1.52(Relative 3σ)% accuracy after calibration; it has only 0.4%/℃ temperature coefficient; its size is 190 um x 80 um exclude bonding pad. I. INTRODUCTION Many applications, such as PDA, mobile communication devices need to operate with low power consumption and low supply voltage to fulfil the requirement of long-term operation. For such System-on-Chips (SoCs), embedded a system wake up circuit is necessary [1]. Several analogue and digital blocks such as clock generator, timer and SRAM for retention must be activated to wake system up from a sleep-mode. Especially, a clock generator, which is the heart of digital circuits, will output unknown waveform of clock and the system will enter Fig.

In order to achieve good frequency stability, the proposed technique considers the entire inverter chain as a comparator block and changes the LTV to control the oscillation frequency. Furthermore, the negative feedback structure also reduces low-frequency offset phase noise. With a 1.8 V supply and at room temperature, the suggested oscillator operates at 18.13 MHz, consuming 245.7 µW. Compared to the free-running case, the proposed technique reduces phase noise by 7.7 dB and 5.45 dB at 100 Hz and 1 kHz, respectively. The measured phase noise values are 60.09 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz with a figure of merit − (FOM) of 151.35 dB/Hz, and 106.27 dBc/Hz at 100 KHz with an FOM of 157.53 dBc/Hz. The proposed − oscillator occupies 0.056 mm2 in a standard 0.18 µm CMOS process. Keywords: RC on-chip oscillator; low phase noise; inverter-based; logic transition voltage tracking 1. Introduction As smart devices become more popular and the market demand for wearable devices grows, the need for low-power, on-chip resistor capacitor (RC) oscillators in a standard CMOS process is increasing, to address the cost and board area issues in external crystal oscillators.

  • RC Phase-Shift Network
    RC Phase-Shift Network In a Resistance-Capacitance Oscillator or simply an RC Oscillator, we make use of the fact that a phase shift occurs between the input to a RC network and the output from the same network by using RC elements in the feedback branch, for example. The circuit on the left shows a single resistor-capacitor network whose output voltage “leads” the input voltage by some angle less than 90o. An ideal single-pole RC circuit would produce a phase shift of exactly 90o, and because 180o of phase shift is required for oscillation, at least two single-poles must be used in an RC oscillator design. However in reality it is difficult to obtain exactly 90o of phase shift so more stages are used. The amount of actual phase shift in the circuit depends upon the values of the resistor and the capacitor, and the chosen frequency of oscillations with the phase angle ( Φ ) being given as: RC Phase Angle Where: XC is the Capacitive Reactance of the capacitor, R is the Resistance of the resistor, and ƒ is the Frequency. In our simple example above, the values of R and C have been chosen so that at the required frequency the output voltage leads the input voltage by an angle of about 60o. Then the phase angle between each successive RC section increases by another 60o giving a phase difference between the input and output of 180o (3 x 60o) as shown by the following vector diagram. Vector Diagram Then by connecting together three such RC networks in series we can produce a total phase shift in the circuit of 180o at the chosen frequency and this forms the bases of a “phase shift oscillator” otherwise known as a RC Oscillator circuit.

  • CHAPTER Feedback Amplifier & Oscillators
    Analog Circuits Day-12 Oscillators Introduction to Feedback: The phenomenon of feeding a portion of the output signal back to the input circuit is known as feedback. The effect results in a dependence between the output and the input and an effective control can be obtained in the working of the circuit. Feedback is of two types. • Negative Feedback • Positive Feedback Negative or Degenerate feedback: • In negative feedback, the feedback energy (voltage or current), is out of phase with the input signal and thus opposes it. • Negative feedback reduces gain of the amplifier. It also reduce distortion, noise and instability. • This feedback increases bandwidth and improves input and output impedances. • Due to these advantages, the negative feedback is frequently used in amplifiers. NegativeFeedback Positive or regenerate feedback: • In positive feedback, the feedback energy (voltage or currents), is in phase with the input signal and thus aids it. Positive feedback increases gain of the amplifier also increases distortion, noise and instability. • Because of these disadvantages, positive feedback is seldom employed in amplifiers. But the positive feedback is used in oscillators. Positive Feedback In the above figure, the gain of the amplifier is represented as A. The gain of the amplifier is the ratio of output voltage Vo to the input voltage Vi. The feedback network extracts a voltage Vf = β Vo from the output Vo of the amplifier. This voltage is subtracted for negative feedback, from the signal voltage Vs. Now, Vi=Vs + Vf =Vs+βVo The quantity β = Vf/Vo is called as feedback ratio or feedback fraction. The output Vo must be equal to the input voltage (Vs + βVo) multiplied by the gain A of the amplifier.

  • RC PHASE SHIFT OSCILLATOR USING BJT AIM to Design RC Phase Shift Oscillator
    Experiment No. 12 RC PHASE SHIFT OSCILLATOR USING BJT AIM To design RC phase shift oscillator. THEORY An oscillator is essentially a source of emf. Its output may be a sine wave, a square wave, a triangular wave or a ramp. It is possible to vary the frequency and amplitude of the output. In this experiment we will be concerned only with sine wave oscillators. Feedback is said to exist in an amplifier if a part of its output is brought back into the input circuit. Consider the situation in figure 1. A fraction β (β < 1) of the output Vo is brought back into the input circuit. The net input Vi to the amplifier can then be written in two different ways. Fig 1. Basic oscillator block diagram VVi s V o (1) where Vs is an external input In equation (1) the feedback is said to be positive. Both Vs and βVo drive the input terminal.
