The PTAT voltage generating circuit generates voltage in positive relation with temperature, the proportional amplifier circuit amplifies the voltage generated by the PTAT voltage generating circuit to a power supply voltage range, the variable capacitance unit is connected to the output end of the annular voltage-controlled oscillator, and the capacitance value of the variable capacitance unit is changed by tuning the variable capacitance unit by utilizing the voltage output by the proportional amplifier circuit, so that the frequency change of the annular voltage-controlled oscillator caused by temperature change is compensated. The invention does not need to use a current source as a tail current to carry out temperature compensation on the output frequency of the oscillator, thereby avoiding the influence of current source noise up-conversion on the phase noise of the oscillator and avoiding the influence of phase noise of a clock signal due to the reduction of the swing of an output signal caused by the existence of the tail current source in the delay unit of the annular voltage-controlled oscillator.

Description

Annular voltage-controlled oscillator with temperature compensation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of ring voltage-controlled oscillators, in particular to a ring voltage-controlled oscillator with temperature compensation.
Background
Ring voltage controlled oscillators are widely used in circuitry such as phase locked loops. The output frequency range of a ring voltage controlled oscillator is typically composed of a plurality of tuning subbands together. When the circuit systems such as the phase-locked loop and the like work stably, the annular voltage-controlled oscillator is locked at a certain frequency point of the optimal sub-band. However, when the temperature of the chip changes, the output frequency of the ring voltage controlled oscillator also changes under the same control voltage, so that the stabilized circuit systems such as the phase-locked loop are unstable again, even the target frequency does not exist on the optimal sub-band, and the circuit systems such as the phase-locked loop are unlocked.
The output frequency of the annular voltage-controlled oscillation can be reduced by the influence of temperature change by utilizing a tail current source which is irrelevant to temperature. However, from the angle analysis of phase noise, the low-frequency noise of the tail current source in the delay unit of the annular voltage-controlled oscillator is up-converted to the vicinity of the carrier wave, so that the phase noise performance of the annular voltage-controlled oscillator is affected, and meanwhile, the amplitude of an output signal of the oscillator is reduced by the tail current source in the delay unit of the voltage-controlled oscillator, so that the phase noise performance of the annular voltage-controlled oscillator is further deteriorated. It is therefore of great research importance to design a ring voltage controlled oscillator that does not require a current source.
