This paper presents an optimum layout method of a low-power, digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) for a Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) transceiver in a 4G/5G LTE system. For the optimal LC-based DCO layout, three different layouts, including different gm cell locations and an Al metal layer, were implemented, and performance was compared and verified for BLE application. The implemented neck DCO (NDCO), where the gm cell is located in the neck of the main inductor, showed superior performance compared to other layouts in terms of low phase noise and low power consumption. The designed NDCO had a low phase noise of −116.1 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz with a 0.5 mW power consumption. The supply voltage and oscillation frequency range were 0.8 V and 4.7–5.7 GHz, respectively, and the NDCO designed with the optimal layout had a good figure-of-merit of −192.6 dBc/Hz.
