The embodiments described herein provide a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The VCO may include, but is not limited to a voltage-to-current converter configured to receive a control voltage and to convert the control voltage to a current, a current bias circuit coupled to the voltage-to-current converter and configured to receive frequency band select digital inputs and to bias the current generated by the voltage-to-current converter based upon the band select inputs, and a ring oscillator coupled to receive the biased current and to output an oscillating signal based upon the biased current.
