Abstract

An analog fractional- N sampling phase-locked loop (PLL) is presented. It achieves 75-fs rms jitter, integrated from 10 kHz to 10 MHz, and a −249.7-dB ﬁgure of merit (FoM) at the fractional- N mode with a 52-MHz reference clock. The measured fractional spur is less than −64 dBc across the 5.5–7.3-GHz output frequency band. The PLL employs digital- to-time converter (DTC)-based sampling PLL architecture, high linearity DTC design techniques, background DTC gain cali- bration, and reference clock
