    摘要: A tunable oscillator circuit is disclosed. The tunable oscillator circuit includes an inductor/capacitor (LC) tank circuit comprising a primary inductor coupled in parallel with a first capacitor bank. The LC tank resonates to produce an oscillating voltage at a frequency. The tunable oscillator circuit also includes a 90 degree phase shift buffer coupled to the LC tank and a transconductor. The transconductor is coupled to the 90 degree phase shift buffer and a secondary inductor. The tunable oscillator circuit also includes a secondary inductor that is inductively coupled to the primary inductor and receives a gain-scaled oscillating current from the transconductor. By changing the transconductance, the gain-scaled oscillating current in the secondary inductor will change, thus the effective primary inductance and the oscillation frequency can be tuned.

    摘要: Multi-mode oscillators supporting multiple modes and having different desirable characteristics (e.g., good phase noise or low power consumption) in different modes are disclosed. In an exemplary design, an apparatus includes first and second transistors of a first transistor type (e.g., NMOS transistors) and third and fourth transistors of a second transistor type (e.g., PMOS transistors) for a multi-mode oscillator. The third and fourth transistors are coupled (e.g., directly) to the first and second transistors. The first and second transistors are enabled in a first mode to provide signal gain for the oscillator and generate an oscillator signal in the first mode. The first to fourth transistors are enabled in a second mode to provide signal gain for the oscillator and generate the oscillator signal in the second mode. Different supply voltages may be provided at different supply nodes of the oscillator in the first and second modes.

    摘要: A system for managing a reference clock signal includes an XO; a signal buffer coupled to the XO and configured to drive a reference clock signal generated by the XO; and a first IC coupled to the signal buffer. The first IC includes an XO input buffer configured to receive the reference clock signal, to switch between an enabled, operational state and a disabled state, and to have a first operational impedance while in the enabled state; an impedance equivalence circuit configured to be in an enabled, operational state when the XO input buffer is in its disabled state and vice versa and to have a second operational impedance while in the enabled state that is equivalent to the first operational impedance; and a control mechanism configured to switch the XO input buffer and the impedance equivalence circuit between the enabled state and the disabled state.
