A Subthreshold Low-Voltage Low-Phase-Noise CMOS LC-VCO with Resistive Biasing
This paper presents a low-phase-noise LC voltage-controlled oscillator (LC-VCO) with top resistive biasing in subthreshold region. The subthreshold LC-VCO has low-power and low-phase-noise due to its high transconductance efficiency and low gate bias condition. The top resistive biasing has more benefit with the feature of phase noise than MOS current source since it can support the low-noise c...
متن کاملLow-phase-noise Cmos Vco with Harmonically Tuned Lc Tank
A low-phase-noise voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) has been demonstrated using a harmonically tuned LC resonance tank. In this circuit configuration, the voltage shape at the differential cell is almost rectangular; thus, the cell is switched effectively and the phase noise is reduced. More importantly, the proposed tank suppresses downconversion of the noise around 2f0 to the phase noise, d...
متن کاملA Wideband Low-Phase-Noise CMOS VCO
A CMOS VCO has been designed and fabricated in a commercial 0.25 m CMOS process. Using a combination of switched binary-weighted capacitors and standard varactors, this VCO achieves a 28% tuning range with a control voltage ranging from 0-2 V, while maintaining a tuning sensitivity of less than 75 MHz/V over its entire frequency range. Compact choke inductors are used in place of resistors to p...
متن کاملUltra-Low Power, Low Phase Noise 10 GHz LC VCO in the Subthreshold Regime
A new design for an ultra-low power, low phase noise differential 10 GHz LC voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) which is biased in the subthreshold regime, is presented in the 0.18 μm CMOS process, for the first time. The designed circuit topology is an NMOS only cross-coupled LC-tank VCO which has an extra symmetric centre tapped inductor between the source ends of the cross-coupled transistor...
متن کاملLow Voltage/Low Power CMOS VCO
In this paper we introduce a CMOS low voltage/low power (LV/LP) voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). It includes a simple V-I converter, a current controlled ring oscillator based on new differential delay cells, and a source-coupled differential pair to convert differential signal to single-ended signal. The V-I converter is implemented as a source follower type, exhibiting excellent linearity...
