Outline
• Oscillators– Inverter-Based Oscillator– Introduction of Phase Noise Simulation– LC-Tank Based Oscillator• Laplace Analysis• Circuit Implementation• Quality Factor Analysis
Inverter-Based Oscillator
Delay Per Stage of the Inverter(273 pS) (395 ps)
Period: 395-273=122 pS, Delay per stage (TD): 234-214=20 pS. Period is 2NTD
Oscillation Frequency Calculation
• fosc=2.14 GHz
• Tosc=467 pS=2NTD
– TD=20 pS
– N=Tosc/(2TD)=467 pS/(2 20)=11.68
– N must be odd. – Choose N as 11.

LC Tank Oscillator
• Resonant Frequency: 2.14 GHz• L=1 nH• C=5.53 pF (Adjustable)
LC Tank Oscillator
Transient Simulation

PSS and Pnoise Setting
Phase Noise
Quality Factor of 10 for the inductor
Oscillation dies out since gtank is greater than gm of the transistor.
Rind=100 mΩ
This is the maximum parasitic resistance we can have without destroying the oscillation.
Transient Simulation
Phase Noise with Rind=100 mΩ
Even a little series resistance at unreasonably high Q (130) can degrade phase noise quickly.
