Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for hopping a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) among a plurality of channels, wherein a gain of the DCO KDCO is a nonlinear function of frequency. A first normalized tuning word (NTW) corresponding to a first channel of the plurality of channels is generated. A first normalizing gain multiplier X is generated based on the nonlinear function of frequency, on an estimate of the nonlinear function of frequency, at a first frequency corresponding to the first channel. The first NTW is multiplied by the first X to obtain a first oscillator tuning word (OTW). The first OTW is input to the DCO to cause the DCO to hop to the first channel. A system for hopping among a plurality of channels at a plurality of respective frequencies comprises a phase-locked loop (PLL), a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO), a multiplexer, and an arithmetic module.

Abstract: An oscillator and a clock circuit are disclosed. In an oscillator (100), a tail inductor connected to a cross-coupled transistor includes at least two inductors connected in parallel. Therefore, an inductance of the tail inductor is less than an inductance of any one of the inductors. This can address a design difficulty that a tail inductor with a smaller inductance needs to be used as an operating frequency of a VCO increases. The oscillator (100) includes a first cross-coupled transistor (121) and a first tail inductor (111). The first tail inductor (111) includes at least two inductors connected in parallel. The first tail inductor (111) is coupled to a source of the first cross-coupled transistor (121). The source of the first cross-coupled transistor (121) is coupled to a power supply or a ground through the first tail inductor (111).
