Embodiment Construction
[0026] The present principles are directed to a fully decoupled inductor-capacitor (LC) resonant tank based oscillator topology for low phase noise and high oscillation amplitude applications.
[0027] According to one embodiment of the principles of the present invention, we propose a way for operating an oscillator such that the amplitude of the oscillation is not limited by the breakdown voltage of the active devices. Conversely, the LC tank is decoupled from the active components, and the coupling ratio between the LC tank and the active components is set such that the oscillation amplitude reaches a maximum value determined only by the breakdown of the passive components. For example, we envision a situation where the oscillator uses active devices with a breakdown voltage of 1V to safely achieve a peak-to-peak differential amplitude of 40V.
[0028] According to one embodiment of the principles of the present invention, we subject the active devices within the oscillator...
