A low power and high performance voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is designed by 0.18µm CMOS process. The output is stable, output frequency of the VCO has high linearity, and can be changed by regulation the voltage of input control pin VT. The output frequency is from 200 to 500MHz, and the operation voltage is from 1.2V to 3.3V. The operation current is only 2.5mA and Anti-interference ability has improved by using current hunger type ring oscillator. Between -40 to 125℃, the Linear Rate of central frequency is only 0.2%. The final chip size is only 200µm X100µm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
