There are provided a voltage-controlled oscillator and an RF-IC for W-CDMA, which are capable of ensuring a wide frequency range and improving oscillation stability. The voltage-controlled oscillator (RF-IC) includes: switching A and B inductors generating a magnetic interaction between resonant A and B inductors of a resonant circuit; and an A_NMOS, a B_NMOS, a C_NMOS, and D_NMOS as switch/load means having together a function of changing an inductance value by the magnetic interaction between the resonant A and B inductors and the switching A and B inductors and a function of serving as loads of the switching A and B inductors. The A_NMOS, the B_NMOS, the C_NMOS, and the D_NMOS are turned ON/OFF by a control signal so as to control the mutual induction, whereby the oscillation frequency is switched by changing the inductance value of the resonant circuit. Also, oscillation stability is improved by increasing the inductance value.
