    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) that is configurable (e.g., in a dynamic manner) in multiple modes of operation (e.g., low/high-band modes). The VCO may include a resonant circuit coupled to a plurality of switches that may be used to adjust current flow within one or more inductive elements of the resonant circuit. By adjusting the current flow within the inductive elements, an inductance of the resonant circuit may be adjusted, which in turn adjusts a band of the VCO.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide an inductor-enclosed switchable voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), for use in a frequency synthesizer of a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC), for example. One example apparatus is a frequency synthesizer that generally includes a first VCO circuit comprising a first inductor and a second VCO circuit comprising a second inductor, wherein at least a portion of the first VCO circuit is disposed inside a loop of the second inductor. According to certain aspects, at least a portion of the second VCO circuit is disposed inside a loop of the first inductor.

    Abstract: One feature pertains to a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) that comprises a variable capacitor and noise reduction circuitry. The variable capacitor has a variable capacitance value that controls an output frequency of the DCO. The variable capacitance value is based on a first bank capacitance value provided by a first capacitor bank, a second bank capacitance value provided by a second capacitor bank, and an auxiliary bank capacitance value provided by an auxiliary capacitor bank. The noise reduction circuitry is adapted to adjust the variable capacitance value by adjusting the auxiliary bank capacitance value while maintaining at least one of the first bank capacitance value and/or the second bank capacitance value substantially unchanged. Prior to adjusting the variable capacitance value, the noise reduction circuitry may determine that a received input DCO control word transitions across a capacitor bank sensitive boundary.

    Abstract: An integrated oscillator circuit comprises an oscillator configured to be switched between a first frequency and a second frequency. A switching circuit receives an input representing a target frequency and switches the oscillator between the first and second frequencies at intervals determined by the input, so as to cause the average output frequency of the oscillator to approximate the target frequency.
