Patent number: 7450921Abstract: The invention provides a communication semiconductor integrated circuit (RF IC) that, when a transmission oscillator is incorporated into a semiconductor chip, secures the oscillation operation over a wide frequency range, prevents a deterioration of a transmission spectrum, and thereby enhances the accuracy of an oscillation frequency. The integrated circuit corrects a dispersion of the KV characteristic of the transmission oscillator by calibrating a current Icp of the charge pump inside the phase control loop. More in concrete, the integrated circuit measures a KV value Kv of the transmission oscillator, and calibrates the current Icp of the charge pump so that Kv·Icp falls into a predetermined value.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2007Date of Patent: November 11, 2008Assignee: Renesas Technology Corp.Inventors: Satoshi Arayashiki, Hirotaka Oosawa, Noriyuki Kurakami, Akira Okasaka, Yasuyuki Kimura, Toshiya Uozumi, Hirokazu Miyagawa, Satoshi Tanaka
