Abstract: A driver circuit for driving a device circuit, including: a diode-connected transistor having a bulk input coupled to a driver supply voltage, coupled between the driver supply voltage and a positive control node, wherein the driver supply voltage is less than a threshold voltage of the device circuit; a capacitor coupled between the positive control node and a signal input, wherein when an input signal received at the signal input is high, a positive control voltage at the positive control node configured to control an input transistor of the device circuit is higher than the threshold voltage of the device circuit.

Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide reduced jitter and local phase detection for a controlled oscillator. An edge of a reference signal is injected at a point within the oscillator, and replaces an edge of the generated oscillation signal at the injection point. A phase difference of the injected reference signal and the oscillation signal is measured locally and is used to tune the oscillator.
