The latch-up effect has been prevented on the improved circuit. It is extremely important that all the excellent performances of the improved astable multivibrator have been achieved with a dynamic power consumption equaling its predecessor one.

文摘An improved on-chip CMOS astable multivibrator is proposed, which overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional one that the signal duty-cycle is depending on model parameters, and generates stable clock signal with duty-cycle equaling 50%. The latch-up effect has been prevented on the improved circuit. It is extremely important that all the excellent performances of the improved astable multivibrator have been achieved with a dynamic power consumption equaling its predecessor one. The advantage of the structure has been verified by SPICE simulation.
