Abstract:

This article presents a 31.5–36 GHz digitally assisted gain-boosting (GB) charge-sharing locking (CSL) phase-locked loop (PLL) that achieves record-low reference spurs while maintaining sub-60 fs integrated jitter. In conventional CSL PLLs, reference spur suppression is fundamentally traded against loop bandwidth, whereas ping-pong CSL (PP-CSL) approaches typically require complex duty-cycle calibration. The …

Abstract:

We propose a new ping-pong (PP) charge-sharing locking (CSL) phase-locked loop (PLL) architecture that enhances the strength of charge-injection into the oscillator’s LC-tank using complementary charge-sharing capacitors during both positive and negative halves of the reference clock, effectively achieving an implicit $2times $ reference frequency multiplication. The design includes a …
