Generally, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) refers to an oscillator that adjusts a frequency by changing a capacitance of a variable capacitor by a voltage control. When designing a VCO, most LC tanks are used by using inductors and capacitor banks. Recently, the effect of reducing the area can be obtained by using only one inductor number through the differential inductor.

Fig. 1 is a circuit diagram of a general differential VCO 1. Fig.

1, the differential VCO 1 includes a negative transconductance circuit 12 having two transistors M2 and M3 and an oscillation circuit 10 composed of an inductor L and a capacitor C . The inductor L and the capacitor C constitute an LC tank to determine the oscillation frequency and vary the oscillation frequency by varying the capacitor. The oscillation frequency is outputted through the oscillation ports (Voutp, Voutn) of both stages differentially.

In the current wireless communication field, not only analog transceivers but also digital RF transceivers and ultimately SDR (Software Defined Radio) transceivers are evolving. One of the directions that these transceivers are seeking is to support multi-band and multi-mode. One of the most difficult parts for this is the frequency synthesizer, which must be designed to be wideband to cover all frequency ranges. To solve this problem, there is a method of using a plurality of voltage-controlled oscillators per frequency, but in this case, the area and the power consumption of the oscillator increase rapidly. Therefore, a multi-band and multimode voltage-controlled oscillator that operates with low power and small area is required.

Wherein the negative transconductance circuit includes a first negative transconductance circuit that generates a first negative transconductance and a second negative transconductance circuit that generates a second negative transconductance and wherein the voltage controlled oscillator is coupled to the center tap of the transformer, The first negative transconductance circuit and the second negative transconductance circuit can each produce a negative transconductance through one current path, as the current reuse structure constitutes one current path through the first negative transconductance circuit and the second negative transconductance circuit.

The second negative transconductance circuit includes a third transistor connected between the power supply voltage application terminal and one end of the primary coil and switched on and off in accordance with a signal applied to the other end of the secondary coil, And a fourth transistor connected between the first coil and the second coil and being switched on and off according to a signal applied to the other end of the primary coil.

The voltage-controlled oscillator further includes a resonance-mode switching circuit that varies the manner of connecting the transconductance to the transformer so as to select a predetermined resonance mode, thereby causing the resonance circuit to generate the oscillation frequency by the selected resonance mode, thereby extending the oscillation frequency can do.

The resonance mode switching circuit can reduce the oscillation frequency by selecting the first resonance mode and increasing the value of the capacitor so that the phase of the oscillation waveform is opposite in each oscillation port of the resonance circuit. Or the resonance mode switching circuit can increase the oscillation frequency by selecting the second resonance mode and decreasing the capacitor value by causing the phase of the oscillation waveform to be in phase with each oscillation port of the resonance circuit. The resonance mode switching circuit can adjust the capacitor value in each mode so that the oscillation frequency in the first resonance mode and the oscillation frequency in the second resonance mode are continuous.

According to an exemplary embodiment, a wideband differential voltage controlled oscillator using a transformer coupling and a resonant mode switching technique can reduce the power consumption while reducing the area of the oscillator by using only a single transformer. Further, by connecting a switch to the center tap of the transformer used in the oscillator, the oscillator can be operated in various frequency bands by adjusting the value of the oscillating trans inductance. Accordingly, it is possible to operate the oscillator in multimode multi-band, and it can be applied to SDR (Software Defined Radio) transceiver as well as various transceiver designs including such oscillators.

Referring to Figure 2, the VCO 2 includes a resonant circuit 20 and a negative transconductance circuit

The transformer forms one current path using the center tap M and the transconductance is connected to the opposite port of the transformer so that one transformer is divided into four inductors to form four oscillation ports P +, S +, P- , S-), respectively. As described above, when the resonance circuit 20 including the transformer and the capacitor is designed, the resonance circuit 20 is formed by modifying the transformer connection mode to obtain four oscillation ports P +, S +, P-, The oscillation band can be expanded without increasing the area of the oscillator.

The capacitor of the resonant circuit 20 according to one embodiment includes a first capacitor pair and a second capacitor pair. The first capacitor pair includes a first capacitor C 220-1 between the first node N1 and the third node N3 and a second capacitor C 220-1 between the second node N2 and the fourth node N4. C 220-2, and the first capacitor C 220-1 and the second capacitor C 220-2 have the same capacitance.

The second capacitor pair includes a third capacitor Cc 230-1 formed between the first node N1 and the second node N2 and a third capacitor Cc 230-1 formed between the third node N3 and the fourth node N4. The third capacitor Cc 230-1 and the fourth capacitor Cc 230-2 are formed of a first capacitor C 220-1 and a second capacitor C 220-2, -2) and have the same capacitance. The aforementioned capacitors may be a collector diode. The selector diode can vary its oscillation frequency by varying its capacitance according to the control voltage.

The negative transconductance circuit includes a number of transistors cross-coupled through a transformer to create a negative transconductance for maintaining the oscillation of the resonant circuit 20. [ The negative transconductance circuit according to one embodiment comprises a first negative transconductance circuit 22-1 for generating a first negative transconductance and a second negative transconductance circuit 22-2 for generating a second negative transconductance .

The VCO 2 according to the embodiment operates in a low power mode because the first negative transconductance circuit 22-1 and the second negative transconductance circuit 22-2 have a current reuse structure constituting one current path It is possible. That is, rather than generating two negative transconductances for oscillation respectively, as shown in FIG. 2, as the current reuse structure is used to create two negative transconductances in one current pass, the structure of the oscillator It is simple and can reduce current consumption.

The transistors M2, M3, M4 and M5 constituting the negative transconductance circuit are cross-coupled through a transformer. In detail, the first negative transconductance circuit 22-1 includes a first transistor M2 and a second transistor M3. At this time, the first transistor M2 is connected between the other end of the primary coil 200-1 of the transformer and the bias current supply terminal Nb, and is switched according to a signal applied to one end of the secondary coil 200-2. And the second transistor M3 is connected between the other end of the secondary coil 200-2 and the bias current supply terminal Nb to switch the primary coil 200-1 according to a signal applied to one end of the primary coil 200-1. Off.

The second negative transconductance circuit 22-2 includes a third transistor M4 and a fourth transistor M5. The third transistor M4 is connected between the power supply voltage terminal Vdd and one end of the primary coil 200-1 and is switched on and off according to a signal applied to the other end of the secondary coil 200-2. The fourth transistor M5 is connected between the power supply voltage terminal Vdd and one end of the secondary coil 200-2 and is switched on and off according to a signal applied to the other end of the primary coil 200-1. As described above, the VCO 2 according to one embodiment can operate at low power through cross coupling of the transformer.

The VCO 2 according to one embodiment further includes resonance mode switching circuits 24-1 and 24-2. The resonance mode switching circuits 24-1 and 24-2 vary the manner of connecting the transconductance to the transformer so as to select a predetermined resonance mode so that the resonance circuit 20 generates the oscillation frequency by the selected resonance mode Extend oscillation frequency. Through this method, an oscillator having low power and small area can be realized.

The VCO 2 according to one embodiment connects resonance mode switching circuits 24-1 and 24-2 that vary transconductance using four oscillation ports P +, S +, P-, and S-. This allows the oscillation frequency to be expanded by changing the oscillation conditions according to the conditions of the even mode or the odd mode. The resonance mode can be selected in accordance with the connection method of the negative transconductance circuits 22-1 and 22-2 and the size of the capacitor connected to the resonance circuit 20 varies depending on each case, The oscillation frequency can be extended. However, since there is no continuity of the oscillation frequency when the two modes are apart from each other, the capacitor value in each mode can be appropriately adjusted so that each mode is connected to each other in order to overcome this. A fifth transistor M1 for supplying a bias current is connected between the bias current supply terminal Nb and the ground terminal.

3 is a circuit diagram in which the VCO 2 of FIG. 2 operates in an odd mode.

3, when entering the odd mode by the resonance mode switching circuit 24-1, the phases of the oscillation waveforms at the oscillation ports are opposite to each other. Therefore, the inductance of the transformer is reduced by the mutual inductance, Has a value obtained by adding C and Cc. As the capacitor increases, the oscillation frequency decreases. Because the inductor is not physically variable to extend the oscillation frequency, the performance of the oscillator is not deteriorated and the DC current is also constant.

4 is a circuit diagram in which the VCO 2 of FIG. 2 operates in an even mode.

Referring to FIG. 4, when the resonance mode switching circuit 24-2 enters the even mode, the phase of the oscillation waveform at each oscillation port becomes in phase, so that the inductance of the transformer is increased by mutual inductance, Only C operates. When the capacitor decreases, the oscillation frequency increases.

The oscillation frequency in each mode is determined according to how the capacitor value is set. In order to continuously change the oscillation frequency, it is important how to set the overlapping frequency range in each mode. Four oscillation ports (P +, S +, P-, S-) are formed by connecting one transformer by using a center tap and resonance mode switching circuits 24-1 and 24-2 are connected to the oscillation ports (2) It can operate in multi-mode and multi-band without deterioration in performance.
