    Abstract: Device of the phase-locked loop type for demodulating a frequency-modulated signal. Device for frequency demodulation, using a phase-locked loop. According to the invention, for linearizing the variation of the frequency of a local oscillator (11) as a function of its control signal (Vb), a variable capacitance (Cv) is formed by an electronic module (20) which supplies the equivalent of a capacitance whose variation as a function of the control voltage (Vb) has a linearity deviation which is established for compensating the linearity deviation of the frequency of the oscillator as a function of the value of the capacitance (Cv).

    Abstract: A voltage controlled oscillator is capable of rectilinearly changing an oscillation frequency over a wide range while keeping, to a fixed value, a signal amplitude of a ring oscillator using an differential amplifier by eliminating dependency of the signal amplitude upon a tail current. A load resistor section of each delay element is constructed of a variable resistor element for changing a differential output current flowing corresponding to variations in tail current, and a clamp circuit for fixing the amplitude of an output terminal of the delay element. A control voltage for changing the current of the former part is generated by the replica circuit of the delay element that is equivalent to an arrangement that the part, for fixing the amplitude of the output terminal of the delay element, of the load resistor of the delay element, is removed, and by a control circuit for equalizing a reference voltage for determining the amplitude of the output terminal of the delay element to an output voltage of the replica circuit.

    Abstract: A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) having a current gain compensation circuit includes a control circuit portion for generating a frequency control signal, and a ring oscillator responsive to the frequency control signal for outputting the VCO output signal. The control circuit includes a control transistor responsive to input control voltage V.sub.control. Connected between the source terminal of the control transistor and ground is a resistive element in parallel with an N-channel field effect transistor and a P-channel field effect transistor, each configured to operate in saturation. The resistor, and the N-channel, and P-channel transistors provide parallel current paths which, collectively, form a control current that corresponds to the frequency control signal. As the voltage control signal V.sub.control increases beyond a predetermined level, the transistors conduct, and carry a current that is proportional to the square of the input control voltage V.sub.control. Accordingly, the magnitude of total control current is dominated by the transistor-provided component, and assumes a square relationship, with respect to the input control voltage. This square-law current-voltage gain characteristic compensates for the inversely mirrored frequency gain characteristic of the ring oscillator in order to attain a reduced frequency gain variation for the overall VCO, with respect to control voltage variations. This reduction in variation translates to a reduced variation in the frequency gain of the VCO with respect to temperature variations when the VCO is used in a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit.

    Abstract: Differential buffers are used in a voltage-controlled oscillator to provide pairs of complementary phase signals. The preferred arrangement includes a ring of the differential buffers. Each differential buffer has a current control input, and the current control inputs of the buffers are all connected to a control voltage input to simultaneously adjust the propagation delay of each of the buffers. In contrast to a conventional ring oscillator, which has an odd number of stages, a ring oscillator made of differential buffers can have an even number of buffers to provide a number of phases that is a multiple of four. The differential buffer preferably includes a pair of CMOS inverters sharing a common PMOS current sourcing transistor and a common NMOS current sinking transistor.
