Abstract
In this paper we discuss the application of the negative resistance concept to estimate the amplitude of oscillation of MOS differential LC oscillators in a steady-state regime. This is done by approximating the large-signal non-linearity, associated with the negative resistance, by a piecewise linear model. The analytical findings are in very good agreement with the results provided by transient circuit simulation.
