Thanks for the various references. I agree that Demir's work is difficult to understand. I have had a look at the papers posted here and at a quick look at the book "Designer's Guide to High Purity Oscillators", but the process of learning is slow.
Please let me state a simple question. In switched-capacitor integrators the dynamic range is mainly determined by the kT/C noise. For example we have, DR=Vsw2*OSR*Csampling/8/k/T. I understand that in oscillators the dominant noise source is phase and jitter noise. Then, could we write the same expression for DR for ring-oscillators? For example the noise power for a 3-stage ring oscillator is given as |Vn_tot|2=8kT*2/(8gm)*(wo/dw)2. This is from Razavi's "A Study of Phase Noise in CMOS Oscillators". So could we say the DR is then again the ratio if the input singal power to |Vn_tot|2? I am just trying to make more sense out of this by relating it to something I know, namely SC circuits.
