ABSTRACT:
A voltage controlled oscillator includes: a first merged device having a first bipolar transistor and a first MOS transistor, the first bipolar transistor having a collector sharing a common active area with a source/drain of the first MOS transistor, and an emitter sharing the common active area with another source/drain of the first MOS transistor, a second merged device having a second bipolar transistor and a second MOS transistor, the second bipolar transistor having a collector sharing a common active area with a source/drain of the second MOS transistor, and an emitter sharing the common active area with another source/drain of the second MOS transistor, and a first inductor connected to both the collector of the first bipolar transistor and a base of the second bipolar transistor.
