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, …

Abstract:

This work presents a 10.0–11.5-GHz fractional- $N$ digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) using the quantization-error-compensating bang–bang phase detector (QEC-BBPD) that can minimize both the static delay ( $T_{\mathrm {S}}$ ) and the dynamic delay ( $T_{\mathrm {D}}$ ) required for removing the delta-sigma modulator’s ( $\Delta \Sigma $ M) quantization-error (Q-error). Since the …
