    • A method and apparatus for fully integrating a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) on an integrated circuit. The VCO is implemented using a differential-mode circuit design. The differential-mode implementation of the VCO preferably comprises a differential mode LC-resonator circuit, a digital capacitor, a differential pair amplifier, and a current source. The LC-resonator circuit includes at least one tuning varactor and two high Q inductors. The tuning varactor preferably has a wide tuning capacitance range. The tuning varactor is only used to “fine-tune” the center output frequency f0 of the VCO. The center output frequency f0 is coarsely tuned by the digital capacitor. The VCO high Q inductors comprise high gain, high self-resonance, and low loss IC inductors. The IC VCO is fabricated on a high resistivity substrate material using a trench isolated guard ring. The guard ring isolates the fully integrated VCO, and each of its component parts, from RF signals that may be introduced into the IC substrate by other devices. By virtue of the improved performance characteristics provided by the digital capacitor, the analog tuning varactor, the high Q inductor, and the trench isolated guard ring techniques, the inventive VCO is fully integrated despite process variations in IC fabrication.
    • 一种用于在集成电路上完全集成压控振荡器(VCO)的方法和装置。 VCO使用差分电路设计实现。 VCO的差分模式实现优选地包括差分模式LC谐振器电路,数字电容器,差分对放大器和电流源。 LC谐振器电路包括至少一个调谐变容二极管和两个高Q电感器。 调谐变容二极管优选具有宽的调谐电容范围。 调谐变容二极管仅用于“调谐”VCO的中心输出频率f0。 中心输出频率f0被数字电容器粗调。 VCO高Q电感包括高增益,高自谐振和低损耗IC电感。 使用沟槽隔离保护环在高电阻率衬底材料上制造IC VCO。 保护环将完全集成的VCO及其每个组成部分与可能被其他器件引入IC衬底的RF信号进行隔离。 凭借由数字电容器,模拟调谐变容二极管,高Q电感器和沟槽隔离保护环技术提供的改进的性能特征,尽管IC制造中的工艺变化,本发明的VCO是完全集成的。
