چکیده
I I I I / With the rapid advance in CMOS technology. the trend.of the VLSI then towards system-on-chip (SOC) where design methodology. cost. and turnaround time are major issues. Concepts of intellectual property (IP) are then proposed to fit for SOC designs. Based on a DFS controller IP [4]. a wideband digital frequency synthesizer (DFS) is proposed to fit in with the wireless LAN applications. which provides low cost and efficient design periods. A 2-stage voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is designed to achieve the system requirements and generates such a high-speed frequency. Its output frequency range can be from 465MHz to 2.635GHz with double 3.0-V supplies. Besides, a novel cell-based digital-to-voltage converter (DVC) is also proposed to solve the interface between the DFS controller IP and the VCO. The wideband DFS is fabricated in 0.35-um SPQM CMOS technology.

This paper presents a modified 32-bit ROM-based Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizer (DDFS). Maximum output frequency of the DDFS is limited by the structure of the accumulator used in the DDFS architecture. The hierarchical pipeline accumulator (HPA) presented in this paper has less propagation delay time rather than the conventional structures. Therefore, it results in both higher maximum ope...
