This thesis presents a novel current-controlled oscillator (CCO). It charges and discharges a source-coupled capacitor periodically with well-controlled current sources. Its current-to-frequency conversion relies on passive components, which are insensitive to the temperature and process variations. The proposed CCO is compact and area-efficient. Moreover, compared to ring-oscillator and LC-tank oscillator, it exhibits much wider tuning range and better linearity. Therefore, it suits the modern system-on-chip (SoC) design. / text
