    摘要: Techniques for setting a fine tuning input signal Vtune for a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) in a coarse tuning mode of the VCO. In an exemplary embodiment, the fine tuning input signal during coarse tuning mode is made temperature-dependent to account for possible variation of Vtune over temperature during fine tuning mode. Methods and apparatuses employing the techniques are further described.

    摘要: In one embodiment of the invention, a method for a charge pump is disclosed. The method includes biasing a plurality of transistors; switching a pair of main transistor switches to apply or remove a net charge on an output terminal though the biased transistors; and turning on auxiliary transistor switches when the main transistor switches are turned off. The auxiliary transistor switches when turned on provide an auxiliary equalizing path to nodes between the main transistor switches and the biased transistors. The auxiliary equalizing path equalizes voltages between the intermediate nodes to rapidly turn off the biased transistors and reduce noise on the output terminal of the charge pump.

    摘要: Techniques for compensating for the effects of temperature change on voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) frequency are disclosed. In an embodiment, an auxiliary varactor is coupled to an LC tank of the VCO. The auxiliary varactor has a capacitance controlled by a temperature-dependant control voltage to minimize the overall change in VCO frequency with temperature. Techniques for generating the control voltage using digital and analog means are further disclosed.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for trimming a capacitance associated with a capacitor bank for use in a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). In an embodiment, each capacitance is sub-divided into a plurality of constituent capacitances. The constituent capacitances may be selectively enabled or disabled to trim the step sizes of the capacitor bank. Further techniques are disclosed for calibrating the trimmable capacitance to minimize step size error for the capacitor bank.
