What is VCO?

A Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is an electronic oscillator whose oscillation frequency is controlled by a voltage input. The frequency of oscillation is varied by the applied voltage. VCOs are used in many applications, including function generators, phase-locked loops (PLLs), and frequency synthesizers to generate signals of varying frequencies. They are a fundamental building block in modern communication systems.
