Abstract: A gain compensator compensates for the gain variation of a varactor-tuned voltage tuned oscillator (VCO) in a phase lock loop (PLL). The VCO includes a parallel LC circuit having multiple fixed capacitors that can be switched-in or switched-out of the LC circuit according to a capacitor control signal to perform band-select tuning of the VCO. The gain compensator compensates for the variable VCO gain by generating a charge pump reference current that is based on the same capacitor control signal that controls the fixed capacitors in the LC circuit. The gain compensator generates the charge pump reference current by replicating a reference scale current using unit current sources. The number of times the reference scale current is replicated is based on the fixed capacitance that is switched-in to the LC circuit and therefore the frequency band of the PLL. The reference scale current is generated based on a PLL control that specifics certain PLL characteristics such as reference frequency, loop bandwidth, and loop damping. Therefore, the reference pump current can be efficiently optimized for-changing PLL operating conditions, in addition to compensating for variable VCO gain.

Abstract: A voltage controlled oscillator circuit comprises a first lowpass OTA-C filter with differential input and differential output and a second lowpass OTA-C filter with differential input and differential output. A non-inverted output terminal of the first OTA-C filter is connected with a non-inverted input terminal of the second OTA-C filter, an inverted output terminal of the first OTA-C filter is connected with an inverted input terminal of the second OTA-C filter, a non-inverted output terminal of the second OTA-C filter is connected with an inverted input terminal of the first OTA-C filter, and an inverted output terminal of the second OTA-C filter is connected with a non-inverted input terminal of the first OTA-C filter. Gate widths of input terminals of OTAs in each OTA-C filter are set appropriately, and initial values of terminals are set by nMOSFETs 3-6, and oscillation output is outputted from the non-inverted output terminal and the inverted output terminal of the second OTA-C filter. According to the voltage controlled oscillator circuit, oscillation of a waveform of a sine wave can be obtained, switching noise can be reduced, and common mode noise can be removed by differential operation. Further, susceptibility to outside noise from power sources, circuit boards, etc. can be reduced, since sensitivity is reduced by utilizing OTA-C filters derived from doubly resistively terminated LC filters. And consequently, oscillation output including little phase noise is obtained.
