DESIGN INFORMATION
VCO component selection
Recommended range for R1 and R2: 10 kΩ to 1 MΩ; for C1: 50 pF to any practical value.
1. VCO without frequency offset (R2 = ∞).
a) Given f
o
: use fo with Fig.7 to determine R1 and C1.
b) Given f
max
: calculate fofrom fo=1⁄2f
max
; use fowith Fig.7 to determine R1 and C1.
2. VCO with frequency offset.
a) Given foand fL: calculate f
min
from the equation f
min=fo−fL
; use f
min
with Fig.8 to determine R2 and C1; calculate
b) Given f
min
and f
max
: use f
min
with Fig.8 to determine R2 and C1; calculate
with Fig.9 to determine R2/R1 to obtain R1.
