Abstract

An apparatus having a substrate, a first die and a second die is disclosed. The substrate may include a circuit having an inductance. The first die may be (i) mounted on the substrate, (ii) connected to the circuit and (iii) configured to control a frequency of an oscillation of a signal in the circuit. The frequency is generally varied by adjusting a voltage in the first die. The second die may be (i) mounted on the substrate, (ii) connected to the circuit and (iii) configured to excite the signal. The apparatus generally forms a voltage-controlled oscillator.
