A timer circuit and oscillator are disclosed. The timer circuit is similar in functionality to a '555 timer circuit but uses few transistors. The timer circuit has two differential pairs of transistors, three current mirrors, two selectable current sources, and one inverter. The two differential pairs of transistors, three current mirrors, two selectable current sources, and one inverter are arranged to receive an IN+ voltage, an IN voltage, and a IN- voltage. From these inputs a Q and a Q(bar) output is generated. This timing circuit can be used to generate an oscillator by connecting a capacitor, a current source, and current drain to the IN voltage.
