  • Abstract
    The relationship between the maximum oscillation frequency and the process parameter fT for two useful classes of VCOs ( ring oscillators and LC-tank oscillators) is developed. Results show that the oscillation frequency of a class of LC-tank oscillators can be substantially higher than fT if high-Q inductors are used.
