Integrated voltage-controlled oscillator circuit using single-channel m.o.s. technology

A voltage-controlled oscillator (v.c.o.) circuit using single-channel m.o.s technology is described. The theory of operation of the v.c.o. is presented and the design criteria arc discussed. The results obtained on the experimental integrated circuit fabricated using single-channel lateral V-m.o.s. technology show good agreement with the theory and with the results obtained from computer simulation. The circuit described results in an economical and simple v.c.o. that may be useful in a variety of applications
