Reference spur suppression technique using ratioed current charge pump
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reference spurs are one of the main problems in integer-N phaselocked loops (PLLs). A ratioed current charge pump is proposed to suppress reference spur magnitude in the PLL output. The ratioed current charge pump can be implemented by resizing the source and drain network of the charge pump. A formula to calculate the ratioed current and transistor size is presented. The reference spur magnitude for a PLL with a ratioed current charge pump is compared to a conventional charge pump PLL, resulting in about 4 dBc/Hz improvement in the reference spur magnitude.

متن کاملCharge pump with perfect current matching characteristics in phase-locked loops - Electronics Letters
Conventional CMOS charge pump circuits have some current mismatching characteristics. The current mismatch of the charge pump in the PLLs generates a phase offset, which increases spurs in the PLL output signals. In particular, it reduces the locking range in wide range PLLs with a dual loop scheme. A new charge pump circuit with perfect current matching characteristics is proposed. By using an...

A 0.8-V CMOS Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) has been designed and fabricated by using a 0.13-μm 1p8m CMOS process. In the proposed PLL, the double-positive-feedbacks voltage-controlled oscillator (DPF-VCO) is used to generate current signals for the coupling current-mode injection-locked frequency divider (CCMILFD) and currentinjection current-mode logic (CICML) divider.

متن کاملA Completely Integrated Low Jitter CMOS PLL for Analog Front Ends in System on Chip Environment
This paper describes the PLL designed for the analog front-end of the silicon tuner in the cable modem system. The PLL is used to generate clocks (150-175MHz) for the DAC and hence the phase noise (jitter) requirement is very aggressive (15ps rms, which is less than 1 degree of integrated phase error). Low noise design for all the main blocks was a key to achieve this. Care was taken to reduce ...
