Voltage controlled oscillator delay cell and method

A delay cell circuit, comprising:

• a differential stage coupled to receive a differential input voltage at first and second differential input terminals and provide a differential output voltage at first and second differential output terminals;
• and
• a cross-coupled stage coupled to the differential output terminals and including a first gain attenuating resistor and a first variable current source coupled to commonly coupled second terminals of the first and a second gain attenuating resistor, the first variable current source including a first constant current source component coupled between the commonly coupled second terminals of the gain attenuating resistors and a first reference voltage and a first variable current source component coupled between the commonly coupled second terminals of the gain attenuating resistors and a second reference voltage and the first variable current source component varies in accordance with a control voltage.
