    Abstract: A digital circuitry is provided for modulating the amplitudes of sinusoidal carrier frequency signals in the phase domain. Thereto, a phase accumulator (2) delivers a digital phase signal in response to a carrier frequency signal to be modulated. A modulating phase signal is derived from an analog modulating signal by means of a A/D-converter (70), a ROM (60) containing phase data and a polarity generator (50). The phase signals from the phase accumulator (2) and from the polarity generator (50) are added, converted into sinusoidal amplitude signals and are converted into analog signals having phase modulated signal components with higher frequencies and amplitude modulated signal components with lower frequencies. A low-pass filter (120) delivers the desired analog amplitude modulated output signal.

    Abstract: Current sources are selectively coupled to a current controlled frequency determining circuit of an oscillator. A buffer amplifier has an input coupled to the current controlled frequency determining circuit of the oscillator and the buffer amplifier output is selectively coupled to the current sources not coupled to the frequency determining circuit of the oscillator. The buffer amplifier output maintains substantially the voltage of the current controlled frequency determining circuit on each of the current sources not coupled to the frequency determining circuit so that when any current source is coupled thereto, there is substantially no voltage difference therebetween. This substantially prevents generation of undesirable frequency spikes during coupling of the current sources to the frequency determining circuit of the oscillator.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for digitally controlling the capacitance of an integrated circuit device using MOS-FET devices. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a one-bit or nullbinarynull varactor is presented wherein the gate-to-bulk capacitance of the MOS-FET device exhibits dependency to a D.C. voltage applied between its gate and well implant regions. The capacitance-voltage characteristic of the binary capacitor has three major regions: (1) a first relatively flat region having little or no voltage dependency and having a capacitance equal to a first low capacitance of C1; (2) a sloped region wherein a voltage dependency exists; and (3) a second relatively flat region where there is little or no voltage dependency and where the capacitance equals a second higher capacitance of C2. The capacitance of the binary capacitor can be changed from C1 to C2 simply by changing the polarity of the applied D.C. voltage from a positive to a negative value. A plurality of binary capacitors are configured in a parallel arrangement to produce a digitally controlled capacitor. The digitally controlled capacitor can be used in any integrated circuit requiring a tightly controlled tuned network. One application is a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) wherein the center output frequency of the VCO is calibrated by digitally modifying the capacitance of the VCO's digitally controlled capacitor. A means for determining whether the VCO requires calibration and a means for calibrating the center output frequency of the VCO is presented.
