Abstract

See full text

An oscillator configured to generate an oscillation signal is provided. The oscillator includes a transistor pair and a cross-coupled transistor pair. The transistor pair is coupled to a first current source and has a first transconductance. The first transconductance is changed in response to a current value of the first current source. The cross-coupled transistor pair is coupled to a second current source and has a second transconductance. The second transconductance is changed in response to a current value of second current source. The transistor pair and the cross-coupled transistor pair are mutually coupled by a plurality of inductors. A frequency of the oscillation signal is determined according to the first transconductance and the second transconductance. Furthermore, a clock generator and a method for generating a clock signal thereof are also provided.
