A Sampling PLL with Boosted Phase Detection Gain Achieving 52 fs RMS Jitter and 110.4 MHz Lock-in Range

A Sampling PLL with Boosted Phase Detection Gain Achieving 52 fs RMS Jitter and 110.4 MHz Lock-in Range 150 150

Abstract:

This work presents a sampling PLL (SPLL) that simultaneously achieves sub-sampling PLL-level jitter and wide lock-in range (flock) inherent to SPLL architecture. By employing a high phase detection gain, the proposed SPLL ensures low in-band phase noise dominated by reference, while maintaining robust re-locking without auxiliary frequency-locked loop (FLL). Fabricated …

A Pseudo-Series Resonance CMOS Oscillator

A Pseudo-Series Resonance CMOS Oscillator 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a single-core, low-phase-noise (PN) digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) employing a pseudo-series resonance (pseudo-SR) technique with a transformer-based resonator. The proposed pseudo-SR resonator offers two key advantages: 1) a low impedance with a 180° phase shift at the impedance pole, emulating series resonance (SR) to enable single-stage oscillation and reduce …
