摘要:
A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) in a frequency synthesizer generates an output signal having a target frequency by being coarse tuned in accordance with a channel code derived through a binary tree search. Thereafter, the output signal of the VCO may be further tuned using a phase lock loop (PLL) circuit. Each stage of the binary tree search includes a comparison step that determines a channel code bit, and another step that confirms that the channel code converges to a final channel code within an established stage range value.

An electronic device for synthesizing a frequency is provided. The electronic device includes a bank changer configured to output a channel code corresponding to a reference frequency signal and a feedback frequency signal, a channel code mapper configured to generate a changed channel code by applying an offset to the channel code output from the bank changer, and a voltage controlled oscillator configured to control a total capacitance of a plurality of capacitors based on the changed channel code and to oscillate a frequency dependent on the total capacitance.

An electronic device and a method for control of an output amplitude of a Voltage Control Oscillator (VCO) in the electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first circuit configured to output a frequency signal corresponding to a control voltage, and a second circuit configured to generate control bits that control an amplitude of the frequency signal based on a comparison result between a peak voltage of the frequency signal and a reference voltage of the frequency signal.
