We present the results of a very simple nonlinear nonautonomous parallel LCR circuit which exhibits a rich variety of bifurcations and chaos. This simple experimental chaotic oscillator is made up of a few passive components and a uniquely designed nonlinear element comprising of a junction diode and Op-amp based negative conductor. The system exhibits a rich dynamics such as chaos via torus breakdown, period-doubling, period three-doubling, period-adding, Farey sequences, etc., and the results of the investigation are vividly presented along with experimental, numerical and analytical evidences. The laboratory experimental outcomes are in agreement with the numerical and analytical results.

A charge pump for phase locked loops (PLL) with a novel current mismatch compensation technique is proposed. The proposed circuit uses a simple yet effective current stealing-injecting (CSI) technique and feedback to reduce mismatch between the negative-channel-metal-oxide (NMOS) and positive-channel-metal-oxide (PMOS) transistors. The current stealing transistor steals the current from a replica branch and mirrors it to the output where it is added to the output branch by the injecting transistor. A feedback mechanism is used to set the drain voltages of both branches to be equal and mitigate channel length modulation and ensure high accuracy. The proposed circuit was designed on Silterra 130nm technology and simulated using Cadence Spectre. The simulation results show that the proposed circuit yields a maximum of 0.107% and minimum of 0.00465% current mismatch while operating at a low supply voltage of 800mV for a range of 100mV to 700mV. The proposed design uses only one rail-to-rail op amp for compensating the mismatch and an addition of 4 transistors and utilizing 75% of the supply voltage for high voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) tuning range.
