A clock oscillator includes with a pullable BAW oscillator to generate an output signal with a target frequency. The BAW oscillator is based on a BAW resonator and voltage-controlled variable load capacitance, responsive to a capacitance control signal to provide a selectable load capacitance. An oscillator driver (such as a differential negative gm transconductance amplifier), is coupled to the BAW oscillator to provide an oscillation drive signal. The BAW oscillator is responsive to the oscillation drive signal to generate the output signal with a frequency based on the selectable load capacitance. The oscillator driver can include a bandpass filter network with a resonance frequency substantially at the target frequency.

An acoustic wave force field generator array that uses a plurality of synchronized oscillating emitters system that effectively blocks noise from passing through an acoustic barrier of wave/bubble pattern forms generated by the rapid oscillation of the integrated magnet and emitter system. The movement of the magnets also produces an EM field that generates a current to at least partially power the driver and speaker systems.

A wiring substrate includes a substrate with a first principal face and a second principal face. The first principal face has a first corner and first and second sides. The second principal face has a second corner corresponding to the first corner, and a third and a fourth side, respectively corresponding to the first and second sides.

A method and crystal oscillator circuit match a supply voltage with a drive level of a crystal. The crystal oscillator circuit is based on a Pierce oscillator circuit which further includes a capacitor C.sub.d. The capacitor C.sub.d together with the load capacitor act as a capacitive voltage divider and the capacitance of this capacitor may be selected to reduce the supply voltage to match the drive level of the crystal oscillator without affecting the oscillation margin of the crystal.

A system includes a tunable bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator device and a direct-current (DC) tuning controller coupled to the tunable BAW resonator device. The system also includes an oscillator circuit coupled to the tunable BAW resonator device. The DC tuning controller selectively adjusts a DC tuning signal applied to the tunable BAW resonator device to adjust a signal frequency generated by the oscillator circuit.

A stacked-die oscillator package includes an oscillator circuit die having inner bond pads, and outer bond pads, and a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator die having a piezoelectric transducer with a first and second BAW bond pad on a same side coupled to a top and bottom electrode layer across a piezoelectric layer. A first metal bump is on the first BAW bond pad and a second metal bump is on the second BAW bond pad flip chip bonded to the inner bond pads of the oscillator circuit die. A polymer material is in a portion of a gap between the BAW and oscillator circuit die.

An electric measurement circuit possesses an electrical reaction leg for forming an oscillator from a resonator, and furthermore possesses a measurement leg the input of which is supplied by the electrical reaction leg. The measurement leg contains an adjustable phase shifter so that an additional excitation force that is applied to the resonator in the measurement leg can be adjusted in phase quadrature with respect to an excitation force that is applied to the resonator in the electrical reaction leg. Such an electrical measurement circuit is particularly suitable for forming a photoacoustic gas detector.

An oscillation module includes: an oscillation circuit; a multiplication circuit which is provided at a stage subsequent to the oscillation circuit and is operated by differential motion; and an output circuit which is provided at a stage subsequent to the multiplication circuit.

A laterally vibrating bulk acoustic wave (LVBAW) resonator includes a piezoelectric plate sandwiched between first and second metal layers. The second metal layer is patterned into an interdigital transducer (IDT) with comb-shaped electrodes having interlocking fingers. The width and pitch of the fingers of the electrodes determine the resonant frequency. A combined thickness of the first and second metal layers and the piezoelectric layer is less than the pitch of the interlocking fingers.

An integrated circuit may include oscillator circuitry having a resonator formed from fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) devices. The resonator may include drive cells of alternating polarities and sense cells interposed between the drive cells. The resonator may be connected in a feedback loop within the oscillator circuitry. The oscillator circuitry may include an amplifier having an input coupled to the sense cells and an output coupled to the drive cells. The oscillator circuitry may also include a separate inductor and capacitor based oscillator, where the resonator serves as a separate output filter stage for the inductor and capacitor based oscillator.
