The present invention relates generally to array oscillator circuits for use as phase delay generators. More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel array oscillator for providing a plurality of phases which have stable phase relationships. The present invention is particularly applicable to the generation of poly-phase clocks for receivers of very high speed interfaces which employ an over-sampling technique, or multiplexing, and for high speed logic. The array oscillator according to the invention comprises at least one ring oscillator having a plurality of at least two interconnected buffer stages including at least one, or any integer odd number of inverting stages and a series of non-inverting stages, wherein the buffer stages are formed of N-type MOSFET transistors.
