ABSTRACT:
A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) comprises a current controlled oscillator (ICO) and control circuitry which independently adjusts the gain (K.sub.v) and free-run or center frequency of the VCO. The control circuitry includes a first current source selected to set the free-run frequency of the VCO and a second current source selected to set the gain (K.sub.v) of the VCO. The current sources are coupled to a common node in a summing/difference configuration. The controlled current generated from the summing/difference configuration is delivered into the ICO. Independent current mirrors are utilized to supply controlled current into the node of the summing/difference configuration.
