Title
Analog parallelism in ring-based VCOs
Abstract
The performance advantages in parallel ring-based VCOs are explored. When the number of VCOs is doubled, the parallel VCOs enhance phase noise by 3dB, and the within-chip process-induced variation is reduced by 3dB, which improves chip-limited yield. The parallel VCOs trade off circuit area and power in exchange. The parallelism advantages in analog and digital systems are compared.
