Abstract

A differential Colpitts oscillator using AlN MEMS CMR designed in 0.13 um CMOS is presented in this work. The oscillator operates at 1.16 GHz, with a total power consumption of 4.2 mW at 1 V supply. It achieves a phase noise of -143.6 dBc/Hz, -173.3 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz and 1 MHz offset frequency respectively with a figure of merit (FOM) of 228.3 dB. Current-based temperature compensation was employed to reduce oscillator drift across temperature.
