This paper presents a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) in Inductor-Capacitor (LC) topology with an enhanced frequency-steps and power consumption. Using special Fibonacci sequence method for optimizing capacitor sizes, this digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) realizes frequency-tuning steps superior than a conventional DCO using binary sequence without increasing the power consumption. The...
A digital-controlled oscillator (DCO) employing on-chip coplanar waveguide (CPW) resonator is proposed for 5 GHz-band wireless communication applications. A 10 bit DCO using on-chip designed, fabricated and tested. By comparing the measured results on the fabricated chip in 0.18 mum CMOS technology, it has noted that the proposed DCO employing on-chip CPW resonator is smaller in size and frequency-tuning...
This letter presents a low phase noise quadrature ring oscillator with new start-up circuit. The oscillator architecture is a two-stage differential ring with an additional pair of transition-assistance transistors. The circuit was implemented in 0.18 mum CMOS technology and the measured tuning range of the prototype device is from 1.7 GHz to 5.5 GHz and figure of merit (FOM) is -162 dB. The proposed...
Digitally controlled LC oscillator (LC-DCO) design in 0.18 mum CMOS technology is presented with low phase noise and low power dissipation. Particular attention is given to achieve the wide tuning range. A varactor array is implemented using new logic, which made the significant reduction in the number of signal lines and the reduction in the size of local decoder, used to decode the input control...
