Voltage Controlled Oscillator

The voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is fully integrated. The frequency range of the VCO is from 3.55 to 7.1 GHz so it covers one octave. Channel dividers allow the generation of all other lower frequencies. The VCO-doubler allow the generation of all other higher frequencies. The output frequency of the VCO is inverse proportional to the DC voltage present at the tuning voltage point on pin Vtune. The tuning range is 0 V to 2.5 V. 0 V generates the maximum frequency and 2.5 V generates the minimum frequency. This VCO requires a calibration procedure for each frequency selected to lock on. Each VCO calibration will force the tuning voltage to mid value and calibrate the VCO circuit. Any frequency setting in fast calibration occurs in the range of Vtune pin 0 V to 2.5 V. The VCO is designed to remained locked over the entire temperature range the device can support. Table 7-3 shows the VCO gain as a function of frequency.
