ABSTRACT(1) • The VCO achieves low power by optimum selection of inductance in the L-C tank. • Despite the low power supply near threshold voltage, the VCO achieves wide tuning range by using a voltage-boosted digital tuning technique. • It is shown that the power consumption of VCO with a required output swing and phase noise can be minimized if the inductance is chosen such that its LQ and Q/L is maximized.
ABSTRACT(2) • To increase the tuning range, a digital tuning method is used where the output voltage of the VCO is exploited to generate a high voltage for the switches in the digital tuning scheme. • The proposed VCO achieves phase noise of -120 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset and 18 % tuning range while consuming 660 μA in 0.5-V supply. • Figure-of-merit with tuning range of the proposed VCO is -197.1 dB,which is the lowest among the recent state-of-the-art low-voltage VCOs.
INTRODUCTION • Due to the explosive growth of low-cost mobile wireless hand-held devices, power consumption has become one of the most important design criteria in digital, analog and RF circuits. • However, in analog and RF circuits, voltage scaling cannot be sustained mainly due to noise reasons and hence the analog and RF circuits must rely on high supply voltage. • Low-voltage VCOs are successfully demonstrated but the limited tuning range make it difficult for the VCOs to be used in practical systems.
