    Abstract: Methods and devices providing Positive Logic biasing schemes for use in a digitally tuning capacitor in an integrated circuit device are described. The described methods can be used in integrated circuits with stringent requirements in terms of switching time, power handling, noise sensitivity and power consumption. The described devices include DC blocking capacitors arranged in series with stacked switches coupled to RF nodes. The stacked FET switches receive non-negative supply voltages through their drains and gates during the ON and OFF states to adjust the capacitance between the two nodes.

    Abstract: A wide tuning range oscillator system uses multiple active cores with cross-coupled transistors and multiple tapped inductors having windings that can be connected to circuit nodes. These active cores are connected to a pair of symmetric tapping points and are switched ON/OFF by biasing elements. Biasing schemes and the topology of the individual cross-coupled cores may be different from each other. The tapping points are symmetrically arranged around the center point of the inductor. One or more of the active cores may be enabled for tuning the center frequency of the oscillator system.

    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device having a function to perform oscillation in combination with a crystal oscillator, includes: a first impedance element including a first external terminal coupled to one terminal of the crystal oscillator, a second external terminal coupled to the other terminal of the crystal oscillator, and first and second terminals coupled to the first and second external terminals when the oscillation is performed; a first variable capacitance circuit coupled to the first terminal of the feedback impedance element, and a configuration circuit for setting a capacitance value of the first variable capacitance circuit. A measurement signal is supplied to the second terminal of the feedback impedance element, and in response to this, the capacitance value of the first variable capacitance circuit is set by the configuration circuit based on the delay time of an observation signal generated at the first terminal with respect to the measurement signal.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed related to an oscillator that includes a sustaining amplifier. One such apparatus includes a resonant circuit configured to operate at a resonant frequency, a sustaining amplifier, and a passive impedance network. The resonant circuit can have a first terminal and a second terminal. The sustaining amplifier can include at least a first switch configured to drive the first terminal of the resonant circuit in response to an input at a first control terminal of the first switch. The passive impedance network can be configured to pass a bias to the first control terminal, such as a gate of a field effect transistor, of the first switch. The passive impedance network can be electrically coupled to the second terminal of the resonant circuit and can include at least one inductor.
