Ring voltage-controlled oscillator
Maturity plannedTargets ASIC (CMOS) onlyDifficulty MediumPriority 2
Multi-stage current-starved or differential ring oscillator with a voltage or current control input, used inside PLLs and as a standalone tunable clock.
Planned. This block is specified in the catalog with its interfaces and targets. No implementation exists yet; the skeleton command below generates a lint-clean shell with its ports and registers.
