This input can be left open, tied to ground, or tied with a resistor to ground, depending on the desired output amplitude needed at the Q and QB output pair. 2.

All the parasitic contributions have been lumped into a parasitic capacitive component and a parasitic inductive component. While this is not entirely accurate, it gives the designer a solid starting point for selecting the tank components. Below are the parameters used in the model. Cp Parasitic Capacitance Lp Parasitic Inductance LT Inductance of Coil C1 Coupling Capacitor Value Cb Capacitor for decoupling the Bias Pin CV Varactor Diode Capacitance (Variable) The values for these components are substituted into the following equations: Equation 2 Ci + C1 CV C1 ) CV ) Cp Equation 3 C + Ci Cb Ci ) Cb L = Lp + LT Equation 4 From Figure 2, it can be seen that the varactor capacitance (CV) is in series with the coupling capacitor (C1). This is calculated in Equation 2. For analysis purposes, the parasitic capacitances (CP) are treated as a lumped element and placed in parallel with the series combination of C1 and CV. This compound capacitance (Ci) is in series with the bias capacitor (Cb) which is calculated in Equation 3. The influences of the various capacitances; C1, CP, and Cb, impact the design by reducing the variable capacitance effects of the varactor which controls the tank resonant frequency and tuning range. Now the results calculated from Equation 2, Equation 3 and Equation 4 can be substituted into Equation 1 to calculate the actual frequency of the tank. To aid in analysis, it is recommended that the designer use a simple spreadsheet based on Equation 1 through Equation 4 to calculate the frequency of operation for various varactor/inductor selections before determining the initial starting condition for the tank. The two main components at the heart of the tank are the inductor (LT) and the varactor diode (CV). The capacitance of a varactor diode junction changes with the amount of reverse bias voltage applied across the two terminals. This is the element which actually “tunes” the VCO. One characteristic of the varactor is the tuning ratio which is the ratio of the capacitance at specified minimum and maximum voltage points. For characterizing the MC12149, a Matsushita (Panasonic) varactor – MA393 was selected. This device has a typical capacitance of 11 pF at 1.0 V and 3.7 pF at 4.0 V and the C–V characteristic is fairly linear over that range. Similar performance was also acheived with Loral varactors. A multi–layer chip inductor was used to realize the LT component. These inductors had typical Q values in the 35 to 50 range for frequencies between 500 and 1000 MHz. Note: There are many suppliers of high performance varactors and inductors and Motorola can not recommend one vendor over another. The Q (quality factor) of the components in the tank circuit has a direct impact on the resulting phase noise of the oscillator. In general, the higher the Q, the lower the phase noise of the resulting oscillator. In addition to the LT and CV components, only high quality surface–mount RF chip capacitors should be used in the tank circuit. These capacitors should have very low dielectric loss (high–Q). At a minimum, the capacitors selected should be operating 100 MHz below their series resonance point. As the desired frequency of operation increases, the values of the C1 and Cb capacitors will decrease since the series resonance point Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
