A very simple ring‐oscillator voltage‐controlled oscillator (VCO) structure for use in VCO‐ADC applications is presented. It has a greatly improved linearity compared with previously published VCOs. Measurement results of a 1 V, 65 nm CMOS prototype confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
