Abstract:
A voltage controlled oscillator controls an oscillation frequency based on a control voltage supplied from an external control voltage terminal. The voltage controlled oscillator includes a reference bias voltage circuit and a gain adjustment circuit. The reference bias voltage circuit includes multiple serial resistances between a reference voltage and a ground. The reference bias voltage circuit controls a switch coupled in parallel to at least one of the serial resistances and thus changes a voltage dividing ratio of the serial resistances so as to set a reference bias voltage. The gain adjustment circuit adjusts a gain of the control voltage. The gain adjustment circuit includes multiple resistances and multiple switching elements. The gain adjustment circuit controls the switching elements to form a voltage dividing circuit between the reference bias voltage and the external control voltage terminal so as to generate an automatic frequency control voltage.
