Abstract:
     An oscillating buffer is coupled to an oscillating source, in parallel, for providing a predetermined waveform at a predetermined frequency for a core circuit with a plurality of MOS transistors operating at a core voltage. In one embodiment, the oscillating buffer includes an inverter, coupled between the core voltage and ground, for amplifying an input signal from the oscillating source. The inverter has one or more MOS transistors with gate oxides of a thickness substantially the same as that of the MOS transistors of the core circuit.
