A digitally adjustable inductive element which can be implemented in an
integrated circuit. The digitally adjustable inductive element can include a first
inductor, and a digital
inductance controller operatively coupled to the first
inductor which can be utilized to vary the effective
inductance of the first
inductor. The digitally adjustable inductive element can include a second inductor operatively coupled to the first inductor, and a digital current controller operatively coupled to the second inductor. The digital current controller can include a number of transistors operatively coupled to the second inductor. The digitally adjustable inductive element can be utilized to create a tunable oscillator. The tunable oscillator can include a first inductor, a digital
inductance controller operatively coupled to the first inductor which can be utilized to vary the effective inductance of the first inductor, and an oscillator circuit which generates an oscillating
signal utilizing the effective inductance of the first inductor. The tunable oscillator can include a second inductor operatively coupled to the first inductor, and a digital current controller operatively coupled to the second inductor. The digital current controller can include a number of transistors operatively coupled to the second inductor.
