Low noise from 8GHz to 11.3GHz differential LC VCO

Overview

PMCC_VCOMB12G is a low noise multi-band differential LC voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The IP block consists of four one-at-a-time selectable VCOs with central frequencies at 8.5GHz, 10.0GHz, 10.7GHz and 11.1GHz. These frequencies can be tuned using a differential fine and coarse tuning ports. The typical phase noise is -108dB. The output is CML differential.
