Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) varactor and a voltage-controlled oscillator used as a VCTCXO (voltage-controlled temperature-compensated crystal oscillator). Background technique [0002] Recently, due to the rapid development of mobile communication devices such as mobile phones, the communication devices are required to additionally have various functions such as a temperature compensation function, a small size, and a high frequency of use. For this reason, similar to communication equipment, even in a crystal oscillator used as a communication frequency reference, a temperature compensation function, a small size, and a high frequency of use have been required. [0003] Because the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator has a temperature-compensation function and its frequency change caused by temperature changes is small, the temperature-compensated crystal oscillator is widely used as a reference frequency source for mo...
