The performance of a differential LC oscillator can be enhanced by resonating the common mode of the circuit at twice the oscillation frequency. When this technique is correctly employed, Q-degradation due to the triode operation of the differential pair is eliminated and flicker noise is nulled. Until recently, one or more tail inductors have been used to achieve this common-mode resonance. In this paper, we demonstrate that additional inductors are not strictly necessary by showing that common-mode resonance can be obtained using a single tank. We present an NMOS architecture that uses a single differential inductor and a CMOS design that uses a single transformer. Prototypes are presented that achieve figure-of-merits of 192 and 195 dBc/Hz, respectively.
