Abstract
Certain aspects relate to a semiconductor die. The semiconductor die includes a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), wherein the VCO includes a resonant capacitor, and a resonant inductor coupled in parallel with the resonant capacitor. The resonant inductor includes a first elongated portion and a second elongated portion that are parallel with each other. The semiconductor die also includes a voltage supply line configured to route a supply voltage to the VCO, wherein the voltage supply line includes a first portion that runs parallel with the first and second elongated portions of the resonant inductor and is located between the first and second elongated portions of the resonant inductor.
