Abstract:
A variable capacitor is provided. The variable capacitor includes a plurality of capacitor segments. The plurality of capacitor segments are connected in parallel within the variable capacitor. When a plurality of candidate capacitances allowable to the variable capacitor according to a connection state of the plurality of capacitor segments connected in parallel are sorted in a magnitude sequence, the plurality of candidate capacitances form a geometric series. The variable capacitor is used for a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), and the VCO is used for a Phase Locked Loop (PLL).

Claim (Index 3):
The variable capacitor of  claim 1 , wherein the control code comprises a plurality of bits,\n wherein each of the switch segments is on or off according to a control signal that corresponds to a value of one bit of the control code or a value determined by combining at least two bits of the control code, wherein each of all values of individual bits of the control code is used to control at least one of the switch segments, and wherein each of all values derived from combinations of at least two bits of the control bits is used to control at least one of the switch segments.
