Each inverter comprises a first (NF) and a second (NL) low-side transistors coupled in series between the reference node and an output node of the inverter, and a first high-side transistor (PF1) coupled between the oscillator supply node and the output node of the inverter. The first low-side transistor and the first high-side transistor have respective control terminals coupled to an input node of the inverter to
