Abstract: An apparatus for handling signaling between a sending device and a receiving device includes: (a) a buffering amplifier device having at least one input locus for receiving an input signal from the receiving device and having at least one output locus for presenting an output signal for the receiving device; each respective at least one output locus presents an output signal in response to the input signal received at a respective input locus of the at least one input locus; (b) a feed forward circuit coupling each respective input locus with its respective corresponding output locus to provide a feed forward signal to the respective corresponding output locus; the feed forward signal is in phase with the input signal received at the respective input locus.

Abstract: A CMOS oscillator includes two differential input transistors (150) and (152) which have the sources thereof coupled through a resonator element (196). Active loads (166) and (178) provide a squaring up of the output which then drives an output transistor (202). The gates of the differential input transistors (150) and (152) are biased to predetermined voltage levels with bias circuits, with the positive input of the comparator configuration coupled through a feedback capacitor (208) to the output (204). This provides sufficient instability to initiate oscillation with a gain of the device controlled by resonator circuit (196) to be optoimum at the resonant frequency of the resonator circuit.
