The core circuit adopts complementary differential negative resistance LC oscillator structure and is biased by current source. A 3 bits switch capacitor array is used to provide extra tuning range. The output buffer of common source structure is of decent reverse isolation. The layout area is 700μm×900μm. With a 1.8V supply voltage, post-simulation shows that the achieved tuning range, along with the phase noise performance, can perfectly compensate the deviation due to process corners. Measurement results of the chip indicate that tuning range is 24% and phase noise of −121.12dBc/Hz is obtained at 3MHz offset with the carrier of 4.8GHz. And the operating current of core circuit is only 2mA.","PeriodicalId":211786,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Symposium on Signals, Systems and Electronics","volume":"794 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114737522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High operation temperature degrades performance of MOS devices and induce reliability problem. In this paper, the temperature dependence of MOS drain current is analyzed in both linear and saturation regions. It is shown that the drain current is invariable in some specific operation points but may increase or decrease in other operation points with the temperature fluctuation. These temperature-insensitive operation points are derived with analytical formulas and verified with SPICE simulation in 180-nm CMOS technology. In linear region, the temperature-invariant drain current requires a linear relationship between gate-source voltage and drain-source voltage. In saturation region, the drain current mainly relies on gate-source voltage and the temperature-insensitive gate-source voltage is a constant for a given technology. Consequently, the supply voltage can be optimized for temperature-variation-insensitive performance, which is about 42% lower than the nominal supply voltage in a 180-nm CMOS technology.","PeriodicalId":211786,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Symposium on Signals, Systems and Electronics","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124229027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
