## How it works

Explain how your project works
It is a simple voltage-controlled oscillator, based on ring oscillator with transmission gate <br/>
to control current flow to the gates. <br/>
The inverter gates are wired in parallel with a capacitor, to ensure that it remains linear when charging <br/>
This should directly affect the gate voltage when charging. ensuring that it stays in linear region means that <br/>
changes in resistance will proportionally change the charging time of the capacitor (e.g. 2x increase in <br/>
resistance will result in 2x longer charging time, thus halving the frequency of the oscillator), although this <br/>
concept will be limited by the linearity of the mosfets in the transmission gates.
<br/>
<br/>
it is currently unknown why this works, since the the concept is very similar to a mosfet with really big <br/>
gate capacitance. Might be something with the current draw when charging, using cap vs not using cap?

## How to test

Explain how to use your project
To test the oscillator, 2 power supply as the oscillator input is required <br/>
the VCON+ and VCON- can be thought as a differential input. to get maximum frequency, <br/>
connect 1.8V to VCON+ and 0V to VCON-. The frequency should be between 6-7 MHz.
