Abstract
The operation of MOS crystal oscillators is investigated assuming near-sinusoidal AC voltages at gate and drain. It is shown that the circuit operation depends basically on only two normalized parameters. Computer solution is used to produce a series of normalized curves allowing oscillator design for prescribed start-up conditions, steady-state amplitude, and operating current. The theoretical predictions agree closely with measurements on sample circuits.
