ABSTRACT:
A ring-style, multi-stage VCO of a phase lock loop circuit includes two or more differential amplifier stages. The phase lock loop includes a lowpass filter connected between a control voltage terminal and a voltage-to-current converter stage, which includes a first source-follower MOS transistor M1 with a source resistor R1 and a diode-connected MOS transistor M2 connected to its drain terminal. A current-source MOS transistor M8 has a gate terminal connected to the drain of the first MOS transistor M1 such that the transistor M8 mirrors current of transistor M1. A diode-connected transistor M9 has its gate terminal and its drain terminal connected together and also to the drain terminal of transistor M8. A differential amplifier stage includes a current-source MOS transistor M10 having a gate terminal connected to the drain of the first MOS transistor M1 to current mirror the drain current of M1. The differential amplifier stage also includes a pair of MOS transistors M4 and M5 connected to the drain terminal of the current-source MOS transistor M10. The gate terminal of MOS transistor M4 is an IN terminal and the gate terminal of MOS transistor M5 is an IN.sub.-- terminal. The drain terminal of MOS transistor M4 provides an OUT.sub.-- signal for the differential amplifier stage and the drain terminal of MOS transistor M5 provides an OUT signal for the differential amplifier stage. A MOS transistor M6 forms a load impedance for MOS transistor M4 and a MOS transistor M7 forms a load impedance for MOS transistor M5. The gate terminals of M6 and M7 are connected to the drain terminal of transistor M9.
