Abstract
A clock device includes an LC network that has a first inductive portion; a second inductive portion connected to the first inductive portion; a third inductive portion connected to the second inductive portion; a first capacitive portion connected to the first, the second, and the third inductive portions; and a second capacitive portion connected to the first inductive portion and the third inductive portion, wherein the LC network is configured to simultaneously resonate at a first frequency and a second frequency that is substantially three times the first frequency, and wherein the clock signal is provided between the first and the third inductive portions by combining a first signal component and a second signal component that is a third harmonic of the first signal component and each inflection point of the first signal component is phase aligned with a corresponding inflection point of the second signal component.
