Abstract:

An ultralow-power Bluetooth low energy (BLE)-compliant crystal-less clock-harvesting receiver is presented that uses the BLE advertising packets (APs) to calibrate an on-chip frequency reference with ±400 ppm initial frequency offset. The proposed front-end, fabricated in 22 nm FDSOI, is capable of pushing the frequency accuracy of the reference further to below ±40/±15 …

A Low-Jitter Fractional-N Sampling PLL With Voltage-Domain Quantization-Error Cancellation Using a Nonlinearity-Replication Technique

A Low-Jitter Fractional-N Sampling PLL With Voltage-Domain Quantization-Error Cancellation Using a Nonlinearity-Replication Technique 150 150
Author(s): Yuhwan Shin, Juyeop Kim, Junseok Lee, Yongwoo Jo, Jaehyouk Choi

Abstract:

This work presents a low-jitter, low-fractional-spur fractional- $N$ digital sampling phase-locked loop (SPLL) that generates output frequencies from 10.4to 11.8GHz. Conventional fractional- $N$ PLLs employ a digital-to-time converter (DTC) to cancel the quantization error (Q-error) of the delta-sigma modulator ( $Delta Sigma $ M). To address the nonlinearity (NL) of the DTC, …
