What are VCOs?
Voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) can be tuned over a wide range of frequencies by applying a voltage (tuning voltage) to it. This type of oscillator is less costly than crystal oscillators, but not as stable.

2007-12-04 Clocking high-speed A/D converters
Extremely high-speed ADCs demand a low-jitter sample clock in order to preserve SNR. These 8bit and 10bit converters have best-case noise floors set by quantisation noise. In this article, we look at the strategy for optimising the performance of the sample clock based on PLL/VCO characteristics. This means minimising overall integrated phase noise, which minimises clock jitter.
