Abstract

Design of DTC-Assisted High Performance Fractional-N PLLs
 
High performance fractional-N phase-locked loops (PLLs) are essential elements of any advanced electronic systems. In recent years, both analog and all-digital PLLs employing DTC-assisted phase detector have gained popularity and demonstrated below 100-fs integrated jitter and superior figure-of-merit. This talk focuses on this PLL architecture and elaborates the advanced design techniques to achieve low jitter, low fractional spurs, and low power operation. Both analog circuits design and digital calibration techniques will be reviewed in detail. In addition, complete low-jitter LO chain design examples are demonstrated for WLAN and 5G mm-wave cellular applications.
