This paper presents a low-area and low-power consumption CMOS differentialcurrent controlled oscillator (CCO) for neuromorphic applications. Theoscillation frequency is improved over the conventional one by reducing thenumber of MOS transistors thus lowering the load capacitor in each stage. Theanalysis shows that for the same power consumption, the oscillation frequencycan be increased about $11\%$ compared with the conventional one withoutdegrading the phase noise. Alternatively, the power consumption can be reduced$15\%$ at the same frequency. The prototype structures are fabricated in astandard $65$ nm CMOS technology and measurements demonstrate that the proposedCCO operates from $0.7-1.2$ V supply with maximum frequencies of $80$ MHz andenergy/cycle ranging from $0.11-0.38$ pJ over the tuning range. Further, systemlevel simulations show that the nonlinearity in current-frequency conversion bythe CCO does not affect its use as a neuron in a Deep Neural Network ifaccounted for during training.
