    摘要: An LC oscillator is provided that achieves improved phase noise performance. A variable frequency oscillator includes a variable supply source, an oscillator tank circuit, a variable capacitance circuit comprising MOS switches, and an oscillator tank voltage common mode adjustment circuit. When the capacitance of the variable capacitance circuit is varied to vary an output frequency of the variable frequency oscillator, the common mode voltage is adjusted to reduce transitions of the MOS switches between an inversion state and a depletion state during excursions of an output signal through one cycle of oscillation.

    摘要: A wideband digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) is provided. The wideband DCO includes an active element which is driven by a first digital control signal; a single inductor which is connected to the active element in parallel, and comprises fixed inductance; and a plurality of capacitors which are connected to the single inductor in parallel, and vary operating frequency by being selectively turned on or off by a second digital control signal. Accordingly, the wideband DCO capable of operating in a wideband frequency range using a single inductor is provided, and if the wideband DCO is implemented using a single integrated circuit (IC) chip, the size of chip is reduced as the single inductor is used.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a tank circuit of a voltage controlled oscillator. A pair of alternating current coupling capacitors respectively couple the gates of the pair of transistors to the drains of the pair of transistors. A bias circuit is coupled to the gates of the pair of transistors and biases the transistors in accordance with a bias voltage such that the transistors alternatingly turn on during a plurality of peaks of an oscillating signal of the tank circuit and the transistors turn off during a plurality of crossing points of the oscillating signal. A feedback loop may be configured to detect a peak oscillating amplitude of the oscillating signal and adjust a bias voltage of the bias circuit based on the peak oscillating amplitude. Also, a supply capacitor may be coupled to the tank circuit and to the transistors to provide an instantaneous current to the VCO.

    摘要: A stabilized oscillator circuit is provided with a differential amplifier type oscillator circuit for generating an oscillation signal, and a differential amplifier type buffer output circuit for amplifying and outputting the oscillation signal. The stabilized oscillator is also provided with a frequency variation stabilizing circuit. This circuit controls the amount of current of the constant current source I2 of the buffer output circuit, in accordance with fluctuations of the power supply voltage applied to the oscillator circuit. Accordingly, the collector-base capacitance of the transistors of the buffer output circuit is controlled, and the oscillation frequency variations are suppressed in spite of fluctuations of the power supply voltage.
