Abstract:

This article presents a type-III wide-bandwidth ring-oscillator-based analog phase-locked loop (PLL) optimized for low-jitter performance in noisy supply environments. The design uses an 812.5-MHz reference frequency and a high-gain sampling phase detector to achieve a closed-loop bandwidth over 100 MHz, effectively reducing the intrinsic phase noise of the ring oscillator. To …
