An interleaved voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is disclosed. The VCO includes a ring circuit comprising a series connection of main logic inverter gates, a plurality of delay elements connected in parallel with a selected sequence of the main logic inverter gates, at least one temperature compensation circuit comprising a logic inverter gate in series connection with one or more field effect transistors, the field effect transistor responsive to a compensating voltage input that is proportional to temperature, and an electronic circuit in signal communication with the at least one temperature compensation circuit and configured to provide a voltage signal responsive to temperature. Each delay element includes a feedforward section, comprising controls for regulating signal transmission through feedforward elements responsive to one or more control voltages, and a proportional section, comprising controls for regulating signal transmission through at least one logic inverter gate.
