A hybrid voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) architecture based on a ring oscillator with inductive loading is proposed. It exhibits a better phase noise/power figure-of-merit (FOM) than a standard ...

The single-event transient effect on a ring-oscillator based and an LC-tank based phased-locked loop circuits fabricated in a 0.25 μm silicon-on-sapphire technology is analyzed with circuit-level ...
