摘要:
A frequency synthesizer is provided with a prescaler 2 and a counter 3, which output a signal having a frequency generated by frequency-dividing an output signal of a VCO 1; a reference frequency divider 5 for frequency-dividing a frequency of a reference signal of a reference signal source 4; a frequency adjusting meas 9 operated in such that a frequency error between the output signal of the counter 5 and the output signal of the reference frequency divider 5 is detected, and in response to this detection result, such a signal is outputted by which either a capacitor value or an inductor value employed in a resonant circuit of the VCO 1 is switched; and also a bias control means for applying an arbitrary voltage V1 to a control voltage terminal of the VCO 1 so as to bring an output signal of a charge pump 7 into a high impedance state when the frequency adjusting means 9 is operated. Since the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit is changed in response to an actual oscillation frequency of the VCO 1, the frequency synthesizer can be phase-locked at a desirable frequency. Also, since the VCO can be manufactured in the IC form, the compact VCO can be made in low cost.

A semiconductor differential circuit comprising a semiconductor substrate, a first semiconductor device on the semiconductor substrate having a gate electrode for having one of differential signals conveyed thereto and a drain electrode for outputting one of the differential signals controlled by the gate electrode, a second semiconductor device formed on the semiconductor substrate having a gate electrode for having the other of the differential signals conveyed thereto and a drain electrode for outputting the other of the differential signals controlled by the gate electrode, and wherein the drain electrode and drain electrode are placed in the proximity so that, at a predetermined frequency, it is equivalent to the one in which the drain electrode is grounded via a predetermined resistance, and the drain electrode is grounded via the predetermined resistance.
摘要:
A high-Q inductor for high frequency, having a plurality of inductor elements formed in a plurality of IC wiring layers with a connection formed therebetween. The directions of the magnetic fields generated by the respective inductor elements are substantially the same. With this construction, the section of the inductor is increased reducing the serial resistance component and an influence of a skin effect in a high-frequency range is eliminated increasing the Q value.
