LC voltage-controlled oscillator
Maturity plannedTargets ASIC (CMOS) onlyDifficulty HardPriority 2
Cross-coupled LC-tank oscillator with switched capacitor bank and varactor fine tuning for low phase noise multi-GHz clocks.
Planned. This block is specified in the catalog with its interfaces and targets. No implementation exists yet; the skeleton command below generates a lint-clean shell with its ports and registers.
