摘要:
A voltage controlled oscillator includes an oscillation controller, first and second current sources, oscillation section, and first and second fluctuation transmitters. The oscillation controller generates first and second control potentials. The first and second current sources generate control currents corresponding to the first and second control potentials, respectively. The oscillation section is connected to a power source potential node via the first current source and connected to a ground potential node via the second current source, and generates a clock. The first fluctuation transmitter is disposed between the power source potential node and the first control potential node, and transmits a potential fluctuation in the power source potential node to the first control potential node. The second fluctuation transmitter is disposed between the ground potential node and the second control potential node, and transmits the potential fluctuation in the ground potential node to the second control potential node.

A first current controlled oscillator outputs an oscillation signal of a first frequency equal to a product of a first control current and a first gain. A first voltage/current converting circuit outputs a first output current equal to a product of a second gain and a voltage difference between a first control voltage and a first reference voltage. A first reference current generator outputs a constant current. A control current circuit outputs a second output current variable. An adder sets the first control current to a sum of the first output current, the constant current and the second output current.

摘要:
In a frequency multiplier which generates a multiple output of a reference signal, a reference signal and its inverted signal are propagated through a pair of delay circuits each including a given number of delay cells connected in cascade. The delay cells delay a signal by time t when a control signal is at a high level and delay a signal by time 2t when a control signal is at a low level. The outputs of the delay circuits are added together by an adder circuit to generate a multiple output without using a low-pass filter but by non-feedback control.

A voltage-controlled oscillator comprises a level converting circuit, an amplitude controller, a voltage-controlled oscillation section having differential delay cells connected in a ring form, and an output level converting circuit. The level converting circuit has limiters which respectively limit a maximum value and a minimum value of a control current. Those limiters permit only a region where the voltage-controlled oscillation section properly performs its oscillating operation to be used.

A digital-to-analog converter has a first digital-to-analog converter for M bits, for receiving M high order bits of input data of N bits, and then outputting a predetermined analog output, and a second digital-to-analog converter for (N-M) bits, for receiving (N-M) low order bits of the input data, and then outputting a predetermined analog output. An attenuator attenuates the analog output of the second digital-to-analog converter to 1/2.sup.M. An analog operating circuit adds the analog output of the first digital-to-analog converter and the attenuated analog output of the second digital-to-analog converter, and outputs an analog output as a result of addition of those analog outputs.
