Popis: This paper presents a methodology to design voltage controlled oscillators. The usefulness of the design proposal is shown by designing a LC oscillator in a 130nm CMOS technology, intended for Bluetooth/Zigbee applications. From simulations results, when temperature varies from 0 to 100°C, power consumption ranging from 3.1mW to 3.81mW is achieved. At 3.4mW of power consumption, a phase noise of −119 dBc/Hz was obtained. In this proposal, NMOS varactors achieve a tuning range of 150MHz.
