Summary

In this chapter we introduce circuits that are used to generate clocks. After an introduction to the metrics of oscillators, this chapter introduces the main categories of oscillators, and how they are made voltage-controlled. The important trade-offs between power, phase-noise, and tuning range are explained. Methods for converting a VCO to a digitally controlled oscillator are included in Section 14.4.
