An ultra low voltage, wide tuning range voltage controlled ring oscillator is presented in this paper. The threshold voltage of PMOS and NMOS transistors is reduced by forward biasing the bulk junction of the transistors for ultra low power supply voltage operation. The linearity of four different PMOS loading architectures is compared and the PMOS load with best linearity is used in the proposed...
