Jitter and Phase Noise in Ring Oscillators
نویسندگان
چکیده
A companion analysis of clock jitter and phase noise of single-ended and differential ring oscillators is presented. The impulse sensitivity functions are used to derive expressions for the jitter and phase noise of ring oscillators. The effect of the number of stages, power dissipation, frequency of oscillation, and shortchannel effects on the jitter and phase noise of ring oscillators is analyzed. Jitter and phase noise due to substrate and supply noise is discussed, and the effect of symmetry on the upconversion of 1/f noise is demonstrated. Several new design insights are given for low jitter/phase-noise design. Good agreement between theory and measurements is observed.

The Transient Behavior of LC and Ring Oscillators under External Frequency Injection
In this work, time domain analysis is used to solve Adler’s equation in order to obtain the required time, for an oscillator under external injection, reaching the steady-state condition. Mathematical approach has been applied to fully describe the transient of frequency acquisition in injection-locked LC and Ring oscillators considering their time-varying nature. Then, the analysis is verifie...

— This paper investigates the concept of using body bias as a design tool to optimize the timing jitter and power dissipation in single ended CMOS ring oscillators. A theoretical model for phase noise and timing jitter in ring oscillators is summarized and used as a basis for simulation of the impulse sensitivity function. Simulation results are then used to estimate timing jitter and phase noi...
متن کاملComparison and analysis of phase noise in ring oscillators
Voltage-controlled oscillators are widely used circuit blocks, particularly in phase-locked loops. As CMOS is the technology of choice for many applications, CMOS oscillators with low phase noise and timing jitter are highly desired. CMOS ring oscillators with five different delay cell topologies have been designed, fabricated and evaluated for phase noise performance. Our results show that rin...

Jitter in ring oscillators is theoretically described, and predictions are experimentally verified. A design procedure is developed in the context of time domain measures of oscillator jitter in a phase-locked loop (PLL). A major contribution is the identification of a design figure of merit , which is independent of the number of stages in the ring. This figure of merit is used to relate funda...
