Abstract
An LC resonant circuit of an oscillator includes a parallel circuit of an inductor, a first fine adjustable capacitor and a first capacitor bank, and a series circuit of a second fine adjustable capacitor and a second capacitor bank. A frequency conversion gain of the oscillator is the sum of a frequency conversion gain of the oscillator based upon the first fine adjustable capacitor which decreases according to increase of a capacitance value of the capacitor bank and a frequency conversion gain based upon the second fine adjustable capacitor which increases according to increase of a capacitance value of the second capacitor bank. Accordingly, an LC resonant circuit for an oscillator with reduced fluctuation of a frequency conversion gain, and an oscillator and a data processing equipment using the same are provided.
