Patent number: 8093958Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide a reference signal generator having a controlled quality (“Q”) factor. An exemplary apparatus to generate a harmonic reference signal includes a reference resonator, such as an LC-tank, which generates a first reference signal having a resonant frequency, and a plurality of reactance modules couplable to the reference resonator. Each reactance module comprises one or more reactance unit cells, and each reactance unit cell comprises a reactance element coupled in series to a switching element. In exemplary embodiments, the reactance element is a capacitor having a predetermined unit of capacitance, and the switching element is a transistor having a predetermined resistance when in an off state. The ratio of capacitance to resistance is substantially constant for all reactance modules of the plurality of reactance modules.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2008Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Integrated Device Technology, Inc.Inventors: Justin O'Day, Michael Shannon McCorquodale, Scott Michael Pernia, Nam Duc Nguyen, Ralph Beaudouin, Sundus Kubba

Patent number: 7978017Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide a reference signal generator, system and method. An exemplary apparatus to generate a harmonic reference signal includes a reference resonator, such as an LC-tank, a control voltage generator adapted to provide a temperature-dependent control voltage; and a plurality of variable reactance modules. The reference resonator generates a first reference signal having a resonant frequency, and each reactance module is adapted to modify a corresponding reactance in response to the control voltage to maintain the resonant frequency substantially constant or within a predetermined variance over a predetermined temperature range. A frequency controller may also be included to maintain substantially constant a magnitude of a peak amplitude of the first reference signal and maintains substantially constant a common mode voltage level of the reference resonator.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2008Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Integrated Device Technology, Inc.Inventors: Scott Michael Pernia, Nam Duc Nguyen, Michael Shannon McCorquodale, Justin O'Day, Ralph Beaudouin, Sundus Kubba
