A 94-fs Jitter and −249.3-dB FoM MDLL With Background Calibration of Injection Phase and Slew-Rate Mismatch

A 94-fs Jitter and −249.3-dB FoM MDLL With Background Calibration of Injection Phase and Slew-Rate Mismatch 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a ring oscillator (RO)-based multiplying delay-locked loop (MDLL) that incorporates a dual-background calibration scheme to compensate for both injection phase and slew-rate mismatches. The MDLL employs the proposed frequency/slew-rate detector (FSD) to distinguish both mismatch types by comparing the pulse widths of consecutive output clock …

BASS-PLL: A Bandwidth Augmented Sub-Sampling PLL Achieving a Wide Bandwidth Above 30% of the Reference Frequency and a Worst Case FoMREF of −247.9 dB at 3 GHz With a Ring Oscillator 150 150

Abstract:

This work presents a bandwidth augmented sub-sampling phase-locked loop (BASS-PLL) architecture that features simultaneous out-of-band noise suppression by direct and multipath sampling of the ring oscillator’s (ROs) output and in-band noise suppression via an intrinsic sub-sampling mechanism, ultimately combining the benefits of over-sampling PLLs (OS-PLLs) and sub-sampling PLLs (SS-PLLs) …
