  • Patent number: 7741923
    Abstract: A transistor voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and a frequency synthesizer having the transistor VCO are provided. The frequency synthesizer adopts a divide-by-five injection-locked frequency divider, which includes a five-stage inverter ring oscillating frequency dividing circuit for reducing the operating frequency of the oscillating signal from the VCO, thus decreasing power consumption due to counting operation of the frequency synthesizer. The transistor VCO includes three transistor switching capacitor sets connected in parallel to one another to form a parallel structure. The gates of the transistor switching capacitor sets are connected to respective operating voltage sources, so as to switch the status of the corresponding transistor switching capacitor set, which in turn adjusts the harmonic frequency generated by the VCO, thereby allowing the VCO to generate a corresponding operating frequency with enough bandwidth.

The first transformer inductor and the second transformer inductor are both used as a coupling inductor for the cross-coupled LC-tank transistor voltage-controlled oscillating circuit. As a result, the inductor area of the transistor voltage-controlled oscillator is greatly reduced and the parasitic capacitance between the inductors and the silicon substrate is reduced accordingly such that the power consumption is greatly reduced and the quality factor of the inductor is increased.
