Voltage controlled ring oscillator and charge pump circuit

摘要

A voltage controlled ring oscillator has a current control circuit and an odd number of inverter circuits. Each inverter circuit has a current charge preventing circuit connected between a ground voltage and a connection node located between a current source transistor and a complementary transistor circuit and a current discharge preventing circuit connected between a high voltage power source and a connection node located between a current source transistor and a complementary transistor circuit.
