The harmonic oscillator includes a first MOS transistor M1, a second MOS transistor M2, a first inductor L1, a second inductor L2, a third inductor L3, a fourth inductor L4, a fifth inductor L5, a first variable capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2, a first fixed capacitor C3, a second fixed capacitor C4 and a switched capacitor array SCA. By suppressing a second harmonic current and promoting a third harmonic current, the invention avoids the design complexity caused by synchronous tuning of two types of harmonic impedances. By suppressing a second harmonic current and promoting a third harmonic current, the design complexity caused by synchronous tuning of two types of harmonic impedances is avoided.

    摘要: Voltage-controlled oscillation circuitry includes multiple cores and multiple mode or gain boosters coupled between the multiple cores. To prevent an undesired operating mode of the voltage-controlled oscillation circuitry from dominating a desired operating mode (e.g., an in-phase operating mode or an out-of-phase operating mode), the mode boosters may increase a desired gain of the desired operating mode and decrease an undesired gain of the undesired operating modes. In particular, mode boosters coupled to terminals of the cores that are associated with the desired operating mode may be enabled, while mode boosters coupled to terminals of the cores that are associated with the undesired operating mode may be disabled.

    摘要: A phase-locked loop comprises a voltage controlled oscillator. The voltage controlled oscillator comprises an inductor and a capacitor, connected in parallel, and also connected in parallel therewith, a negative resistance structure. A first terminal of the negative resistance structure is connected to respective first terminals of the inductor and the capacitor. A second terminal of the negative resistance structure is connected to respective second terminals of the inductor and the capacitor. The negative resistance structure exhibits a tunable capacitance, such that a frequency of an output of the voltage controlled oscillator can be tuned by a control input signal, and the control input signal is generated in the phase-locked loop. The negative resistance structure comprises first and second transistors.
