Abstract

An oscillator circuit includes transistors that are cross-coupled through routing conductors in a first conductive layer. The oscillator circuit also includes a varactor, a capacitor, and an option conductor in a second conductive layer. The option conductor forms at least a portion of a connection between one of the transistors and the capacitor or the varactor.
