Low-voltage AC-powered oscillator

Simple!

Since it's AC, tack on a transformer to step it up by an arbitrary ratio. You now have AC of suitable voltage, to drive any conventional circuit, or to use directly if it's of the right frequency already.

That's pretty neat.

Surveying that and several JFET equivalent circuits out there, they all seem to consist of blocking oscillators featuring a depletion-mode switch.

How many process step required to make that? More than the simple JFET, I presume...
