A multiphase sinusoidal oscillator using the parasitic poles of current feedback operational amplifiers (CFOAs) is presented. The oscillator can generate n signals which are equal in amplitude and equally spaced in phase. The oscillator using the parasitic poles of CFOAs is suitable for high frequency applications and monolithic IC fabrication. The effects caused by the nonlinearity of the CFOA on the oscillation frequency and condition have been analysed. Experimental results show that a three-phase sinusoidal oscillator has a wide operating range from 10 kHz to 10 MHz and a large output voltage swing up to 7 V peak to peak while using f 5 V power supply. The total harmonic distortion (THD) of each oscillation frequency is dominated by its third harmonic component which is at least 33dB down from its fundamental.
